Restaurants are famous for birthdays. If neither you or your bf have any ideas to celebrate, try the movies or do whatever it is that you guys enjoy doing together

Happy Birthday!

Start with an elder care attorney. They can put you in touch with the resources and community outreach you need. He may qualify for SNAP, section 8, senior public housing, and a road map for state guardianship. It’s difficult because he has living relatives, so you should seek legal advice. It’s less of a headache to align yourself with the professionals that can navigate the system. Reddit answers will be piecemeal at best.

Good luck

Unfortunately you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. You don’t want him to be scammed because you care about him. But kicking him out could quickly lead to homelessness.

He may be undiagnosed or under diagnosed. I would make an appointment with a geriatric doctor and maybe a neurologist. Also a psychologist.

There are very few if any nursing homes in NJ that accept Medicaid. And those that do, have a waiting list longer than most people alive. And if you find one that accepts everyone on Medicaid (state facility), it will be poorly run and basically an adult prison. Bugs, bed sores, screaming souls. That type of environment.

Average run of the mill nursing home in NJ is $8-10k/month out of pocket. People sell their homes and use that for their care. If you are on a life plan, when your money runs out they will allow you to stay. Typically you’ve spent $300k-$1M before then.

Aging in home is expensive too. A home health aide runs about 10k a month for a live in caregiver. $20k a month if you are getting up in the middle of the night.

Samahas country farm market in Aberdeen. It’s local produce but it’s a brick and mortar and they go to typical farmers markets held in parking lots.

516 farmers market in old bridge. It’s a Korean owned market (also brick and mortar). They have limited English but their prices are very reasonable for the quality of produce

Nobody Alive today will see world peace in their lifetime. The mere thought of war increases the price of non reusable energy. It’s important to have wind, solar, geothermal and hydroelectric accessible to our state and nation.

Will our utilities bills get cut in half? Probably not, but they won’t double because two countries don’t like each other.

Some of the most beautiful places in the world Have wind turbines in their waters. NJ will get used to it
