Mom always handled her own bills and now with her in the nursing home I found out that she hasn't paid them since December. They call every day several times a day. I have sent bills back stating she doesn't live here any more.
Is there any type of form letter or something like that that I could send them all so they stop calling? I'm at work all day so most of the calls and messages come in when I'm not home.
"My mom has cancer and can not be left alone anymore. She is getting too weak. She has medicaid for the nursing home bills. She has no money and owns nothing except a chair and tv."
Also note, in the original post OP said "Mom always handled her own bills and now with her in the nursing home I found out that she hasn't paid them since December."
POAs generally don't become activated until a person can no longer manage their finances or they choose to give up control. OP's mom doesn't have dementia/cognitive issues. As noted, OP was of the impression that her mother was taking care of the bills. Others argue we should butt out and let elders manage their own affairs, but then we see chastising for not taking control! OP does have POA and manages things now, but there presumably are no funds to manage at this point. Medicaid will require SS and any other income go directly to the NH.
Additionally, OP also posted a reply that said her mother moved to the NH 3 weeks ago. The calls are regarding the past bills that went unpaid. OP's mother isn't charging anything in the NH!
Demand that they stop calling your home. U may have to put it in writing but let them know u are not responsible for her bills and will not pay. They can write them off.
