Re: grandfather ill

It is likely that he is currently on Medicare. You will need to find out how long his insurance (either Medicare or other policy) will pay for his healthcare costs for rehab, and perhaps a nursing home.

You should contact an attorney in the Rockford area to assist you with your long-distance responsibilities. Rockford is in Winnebago County. They should have an attorney referral service through their Bar Association.

Good luck to you.
