Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Messiah Village Fail

So, the past 2 days were my weekend and I had so much I planned to accomplish and... well, that didn't happen.  They are ready to move my Mom out of the hospital, however they want her to go where she can have soft core rehab.  So, we're sitting there my brother's crazy christian wife says "I don't see why we don't send her to Messiah Village." Now, I have a big problem with Messiah.  They are the only facility that require you to fill out at financial application.  That's right.  Even if you're only going there for 2 weeks of Rehab, they need to know how much money you have in the bank, how much is in your 401K, what annuities you have, if there are any investment accounts, as well as your monthly income.  Also, they need to know if these are owned individually or jointly.  Oh, and don't forget, they're Christian.  Right.  They're out to make money.  There is even a sentence that states "I represent the resources listed above are and will remain available for payment of services I may receive at Messiah Village."  See what I mean?  They will reject you if your finances don't meet their requirements.  They are not Christian.
We're going to go with Manor Care.  They actually accepted my Mom yesterday afternoon without any questions about her finances, all we're waiting on is the transportation.


I suspect that my brother and sister-in-law are not happy.  This is life.  She was already looking dismal yesterday when I reminded her that my Sister would not want to drive the distance.  Actually, my sister-in-law lost the battle when she said that the day before my Mom had mentioned twice about her desire to go to Messiah Village.  My Mom has dementia.  I have little patience for a phony Christian who lies.  And tomorrow, I have another meeting at 8:30 in the morning.  Yippie skippie.
