Social Security
and Pensions
In Gertrude's case there has never been a question of
who would pay for her care. She has a pension and Social
Security that provide sufficient income for her to pay
for her long term care. She has been in the nursing
home for two and a half years now. With the help of
her two sisters (89 and 87 years of age) Gertrude, 99,
was able to stay in her own home prior to her nursing
home placement. Gertrude and her sisters went through
the depression era and are proud of being on their own.
All three sisters worry about outliving their money
and what the future might bring.
