Larger deposits to bank accounts over a certain amount get automatically reported to the federal government, she's making a bunch of small deposits to avoid that.
It would have been cheaper if your husband had come home after the rehab facility and you were renting a hospital bed and other equipment through a local medical supply store and had a home health care aid come in for 'x' numbers of hours a week.
I have across the street neighbors, a family taking care of homebound grandparents at home and you'll see visiting nurses, nurses aids, and occasionally some durable medical equipment person stop by to visit.
I had been my mother's main caregiver in her later years. When her health went seriously south and she became housebound we had visiting nurses, in-patient physical therapy and an aid who came to help with bathing through an agency associated with our university medical center.
The first time she was in in-patient physical therapy at a skilled nursing facility it was their social worker who bought her a wheelchair and a commode that were 100% covered by Medicare. When she eventually needed a hospital bed at home we rented one through a local medical supply store.
