[quote=Anonymous]My parents did everything wrong. They made a blanket statement: “we are staying here.” They did absolutely nothing else to prepare. Mom said “our friends will help us.” They outlived most of their friends (who all had local children to help them). When the crisis came and they were forced to move to a more supportive environment, they refused to sell their house and left it sitting full of the “hoard” until two years later (after they had forgotten to pay the property taxes) they decided to sell it and called me to clean it out. What should have been their golden years of walking the beach and playing golf turned into isolation in their own clutter filled home, eating rotisserie chickens because they were easy. Guess that’s what they wanted. [/quote]
