Any anons knowledgeable about retirement homes/end of life care?
I'm incredibly concerned about my gf's mom. She's a loser, straight out. She drives trucks but that's not a career that offers her retirement or benefits. Basically, she lives paycheck to paycheck, has no savings, is always struggling. Me, I'm the kind of person who invests in 401k, mutual funds, etc. I'll be fine in retirement. My parents are fine as well (they're 70 and have their shit straight). I don't want to have to deal with her shitty mom when she becomes infirm and invalid, within the next 10 years.
What options are available to poor as fuck old people who fucked up in their lives and have no money to their name when they are no longer of working age? Is there some sort of government program? Government home? fuck. I refuse to support this shit old woman.
I don't know shouldn't she get social security since the government takes it out of your salary?

At her income level, she'd get less than a thousand a month in SSI. That's nowhere near enough money to afford a end of life care, which costs over 2 grand a month.

have you never heard of medicare or something?
I don't know you may have to support her dude. possibly the reason your girlfriend stays with you.

Medicare does not supplement that. Which is why I am asking. Federal benefits do not cover the cost of complicated care, such as someone being so old as to have alzheimers, cancer, diverticulitis or other illnesses which require intense, around the clock medical care.
