[quote=Anonymous]I am so grateful that my father agreed to go to a retirement community with a continuum of care when I gently told him it was time. I had helped him remain in his own place for ten years (brought him meals, ran errands for him, took care of him in my home after every health crisis, took him to all his doctors appointments, etc). But after a half dozen falls, I told him it was time to go somewhere where he would be safer. He lived in an independent apartment for over a year before transitioning into assisted living (got to Stay in the same apartment but just got more services). In some ways I was lucky because I’m an only child and I didn’t have to deal with siblings. I’ve seen the strain of dealing with eldercare tear apart entire families so I’m glad I dodged that bullet.[/quote]
