I really need ya'll help with something...please-family base
Question Posted Sunday February 5 2006, 5:57 pm
MY grandma's in a nursing home...more like a home for people who are aged or sick and don't have any one to help see them and stuff. Today wen I went to see her she was crying a bit and I'm really worried. She got a stroke and it's really difficult to understand if she really likes it or not because wen we ask if she's comfy she always says yes and we can't go ask the nurses cause of course they will say yes or something. Also as I said before I think my uncle just wants her to get out of the house so he can do what he wants since the money is on his name! I don't want him spend out the money and make us poor and I don't want my grandma to die or be unhappy. I've told my aunt away and she said she'll come soon and so I'm waitin until she comes....what should i do for the while? How do I let her feel more comfortable since my uncle won't allow me to move her...n how can i get my uncle to have a heart for his own mother!?

You are 13 and probably not hearing the whole story of what is going on. Your grandma must have given your uncle her power of attorney. That just means that your grandma TRUSTED HIM to do what he thought was best for her.
What do your parents have to say about the whole thing? This is really not something that a 13 year should even be dealing with. I think you need to be talking to your parents.
I am sure your grandma is being taken care of. Nursing homes are very expensive places to be in. The person there has 24 hour round the clock care. Much better than they would be getting at home where people have to go to work and school.
Rest assured most of your grandmas money is going for her care. He won't have much left for playing around with.
I am sure your uncle has your grandmas best interests at heart. Please stop worrying yourself sick about it. Grandma says she is doing good, believe her. There is no laws that says she won't be able to go home after she recovers from her stroke. It is not uncommon at all for an older person to recover in a nursing home. A lot of doctors will recommend it because it isn't costing her quite as much money as a hospital is,
and it frees up room in the hospital for more seriously ill people.
