My mother had to retire at 62 as she was physically unable to continue her job as a waitress which she had done since she was 18 years old. She took her SS and initially it amounted to under $500 a month. She had about $80K in assorted savings/IRA account.
Shortly after she retired, I went to visit her (me in GA and her in OH) and after I looked into her financial situation, we rented a uhaul truck and moved her into my home in GA. She lived with me until she passed with COPD complications, a total of 20 years in my home. My DGF is a saint for putting up with 18 of those years. Two women in the same house is never recommended, just ask me.
I never once considered low income housing or dumping her on a sibling. That's just unthinkable.
