Tony, I found this, which I believe mitigates against foreclosure eviction.

"Illinois.

On March 20, 2020, the Governor issued an Executive Order suspending residential evictions until the declared state of disaster ends."

https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/covid-19-related-moratorium-on-48251/

and

"Pursuant to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act, 20 ILCS 3305/7(2), (8), and (10), all state, county, and local law enforcement officers in the State of Illinois are instructed to cease enforcement of orders of eviction for residential premises for the duration of the Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamation. No provision contained in this Executive Order shall be construed as relieving any individual of the obligation to pay rent, to make mortgage payments, or to comply with any other obligation that an individual may have under tenancy or mortgage."

The big question is whether or not the proclamation and "state of disaster" has been extended. I haven't followed Illinois's actions. I did some research but unfortunately don't have the time to review the various proclamations.

I might just call the Governor's office instead of wading through the various proclamations and ask whether the proclamations include a forbearance against foreclosures and evictions pursuant thereto.

Tony, following up on Barb's suggestion, I know there are moratoriums in my state on evictions; that might be something you could find out from your local congressional reps or the governor.

If you find that a nursing home is appropriate now, you might want to contact your local Alzheimer's chapter and ask for a list of nursing homes providing the level of care your wife needs. When I've asked for information, it was e-mailed to me within an hour. And the suggestions were good ones.

After reviewing several pages, I called several to find ones that suited my needs, arranged to visit for an interview and inspection, then made a choice.

Using a list can help eliminate some of the ones that might not be suitable, and which you otherwise would not know w/o doing some research.

Be aware though that access is restricted now b/c of the pandemic, so it might be difficult to get in and review the different places available.

I'm sorry for the difficult situation in which you find yourself, and do hope that you're able to locate a place that meets your standards.

Tony ((((hugs)))))! Have you spoken to the local Area Agency on Aging?

Is there not a moratorium on evictions and foreclosures in your State?
