When it comes time to have my mom in a care home (nursing home, I hate that word) what do I do if she makes to much? Between her rental homes and her S.S. she makes enough for one but there is zero left over to do up keep and pay taxes on them . I really mean ZERO. She lives with us now and has been for over 2 years , but little by little she is getting worse and I know there will come a time when we need to do somethingelse .
