What is your grandmothers current living situation? Is she in her final assisted living facility. Or does she live on her own. If she lives on her own, sometime in the future she may need to move to a senior residence or assisted living facility. If this is the case her credit rating can affect her option.
We just spent the last couple of years looking at different options for my mom. All places want to know your finances and all places look at your credit. You don't want your grandmother to get rejected from her ideal place because she has bad credit. And don't assume there are places out there that will have to take your grandmother.
If she has a house and a certain amount of income (even if very little) then she won't qualify for a lot of government assisted housing. And if she has the money but bad credit then nicer places won't want to accept her.
Don't listen to your grandmother when she says she doesn't care about her credit. I seriously doubt she understands that there are severe consequence even at her age. My sister the social worker says to tell you, "You don't want your grandmother living in a place that smells like pee because her credit kept her from living in a nicer place."
Agreed. The timeshare was your financial decision to make and yours to deal with. I'm sure your grandmother would do anything to help her grandkids out but that doesn't mean she should.
