What happens to people with no families? How do they eat if there are no cooks?

Hopefully a divorce lawyer can help her. As I read her responses, it became clear that her husband may be abusive. Seems too he could care less about his Moms care. She said there is a care team and they don't think a bedsore is not a sign of negligence? If the waiver Mom is on does not cover her needs why isn't LTC not being suggested?

And for someone who owns nothing, a Medicaid application is not that hard. Moms caseworker helped me with Moms. You just have to provide paperwork needed. You would still need to do that with a lawyer or planner.

I do not see where anyone was rude. Maybe saying things she wasn't ready to hear? She seems to be the only one worried about her MIL but her hands seem to be tied. Seems husband may come from a dysfunctional family. She may be making the right decision to just walk away.

Why am I being judged? That is how I feel.

How did your meeting with the attorney go? Any progress on getting MIL placed?

This Covid outbreak calls for takeout food from restaurants. Private cooks are not licensed and may get exposed to the virus themselves.

I worry about this for my own welfare. As I age, I wonder if I'll be able to function and care for myself. I'm widowed and have no kids. I imagine it's a problem for many as they get older.

Bringing large portions for others not your family is probably a Health Department violation. The food would be from what is considered an "Unapproved source".
I would think it is the responsibility of the facility to provide the appropriate meals needed during the time when there are no cooks.
Meals can be catered in.
My gut reaction would be to contact the Health Department and inform them of what the facility is asking families to do. If there were an outbreak it would be a nightmare to trace.
