Rosa and Jaime Sanchez immigrated to the United States from a Central American country 1S years ago when they were in their early-60s. A son and a daughter were already living
and working in the United States when they arrived. Rosa and Jaime lived with their son, Jorge, his wife, Maria, and two small children in a two-bedroom apartment. To make ends
meet, Rosa found work in the laundry of a nearby motel, and Jaime took the night janitor's position at the local boys'club. Rosa had hypertension, which she controlled with
medications obtained at a nearby community health center. Jaime was an insulin-dependent diabetic and had to pay for most of his medical expenses.
Two years after the arrival of ber in-laws, Maria gave birth to another child. During the next six years or so, Rosa and Jaime learned barely enough English to become U.S.
citizens. During this time, Jorge and Maria purchased a modest three-bedroom home, and the parents occupied one of the bedrooms. During this time, Rosa and Jaime had to stop
working because of old age and declining health. Without a source of income, they qualified for Supplemental Security Income (SSN) and Medicaid. Most of the SSI income was
handed over to the son for their room-and-board expenses. Medicaid covered their medical expenses.
Starting at age 71, Jaime suffered several mini-strokes. His blood sugar had not been well controlled. He also developed glaucoma in one eye and was barely able to see with that
eye. The son and his wife both had full-time jobs. Before, Rosa was able to spend a lot of time taking care of her grandchildren, but now ber husband required more attention. He
needed assistance with bathing. He also needed insulin injections and blood sugar monitoring three times a day. Their daughter, who lived with ber family about 15 miles away, came
over and provided help periodically.
Jaime is now 77 years old. Two years ago, he fell and injured one of his ears. He has lost 75% of his hearing in that ear. Fortunately, be did not sustain any fractures. He wears a
bearing aid in the other ear. Recently, be complained of declining eyesight in the good eye. An eye exam showed signs of macular degeneration. Rosa does not bave the level of
strength she once had to take care of Jaime. Both Jaime and Rosa use canes for walking because of some limitations in mobility.
Jaime and Rosa's grandchildren are grown. They need more space in their home and time to devote to their studies. Jorge and Maria show some level of frustration because they
are unable to devote the necessary time to take care of Jorge's elderly parents. The parents have suggested that they don't have the money to go to an assisted living facility, but
perhaps they can qualify for care in a nursing home. Jorge, Maria, and Jorge's sister have come to realize that the parents need to move out, but they don't know where to turn.
Jorge calls a nursing home located six miles from his home and makes an appointment to see the administrator.
