I ADORE Tim Conway! And I smell a RAT. Don’t know if the daughter or the wife is the rat, but this kind of thing is usually about control of MONEY.
And entirely none of our business.
Stories like this are nothing but gossip over the back fence. Just because we are entertained by someone, we do not know them. They are not our friends.
We have no right to know their business.
Tim Conway was great!
And, yes, sadly, you may be correct. It sounds to me (and I could be way off base) as if the wife wants to place TC in a cheaper facility to save more of the estate for herself(?) and maybe her own care / future care, while the daughter is basically saying "screw that, I want Dad to get the best care possible, even if it eats up the estate."
Still... If Conway's wife is frightened and / or worried about her own care, maybe no one is a "rat".
There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy, there's just you and me and we just disagree..."
In the cases of both my Mom and Dad, if / when they needed better care, the less well equipped facilities were honest & told us that they could not take / or continue to have him or her. (In the case of my Dad's Assisted Living, as he deteriorated, his facility suggested for a while we had private sitters come in to stay with him part time, which really ran up total cost, but also improved his quality of life quite a bit. Since his medical needs were fairly minimal, this was better than nursing care, even if almost as expensive. Later he had a stroke and then did have to go to nursing care, but while in Assisted Living, did he ever enjoy having those young ladies helping him out & keeping him company most of the day!) (We were quite fortunate in getting mostly really good sitters.)
