Options Revisited

The recertification process at the "old folks home" commenced with the submission of an eligibility questionnaire along with personal financial documents. The process supposedly may take up to 90 days to complete. An inspection of the cell is next with the signing of the new lease, if approved, being the final step.

“Rustic” Condominium in Waikiki

Obviously, there is not much time remaining to pursue other options. Thus, a frenzied attempt to investigate the options previously listed in Notes has commenced concurrently. Contact was established with the new real estate agent to possibly initiate a bid for the sole leasehold unit available at the "rustic" condominium in Waikiki. Also, pricing data is being accumulated for different makes of cargo vans with high roofs and longer wheelbase.

The family drama has abated coincident with moms' decision to accept medical treatment for the one good eye that is now failing. Thus, there has been a release of burden for the time being. In addition, moms has tentatively decided to assign Durable Power-of-Attorney (DPOA) to the sister-in-law (as well as access to moms’ financial accounts). As long as moms is comfortable with the decision, there are no objections. Given the aforementioned information, there is now a lot more freedom of choice in personal matters.

Update. The only available leasehold unit at the "rustic" condominium in Waikiki is in escrow. A new option to be investigated is the possible relocation to one of the “old folks home” in Waikiki.
