[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are looking for a situation where you can first live independently and then step up to assisted living and skilled nursing, if necessary, what are the best options if money is not a concern.

Anyone's parents or grandparents in this type of community and they have feedback?

I am not there yet (and not even really close...am in 40s) but having just been through both my parents long and torturous health decline and how ill prepared they were (stayed in family home) and how difficult it was for me and my siblings to manage, I have vowed to never put my children in this position.

What didn't work, at least from your/siblings' POV, about their remaining in the family home? I might work backwards from there to figure out if that may have worked if there had been different circumstances.

I had a lot of challenges with my mom during this phase, complicated by her dementia and attendant anger and irritation stemming from it. I vowed to DH to not want to put our kids through this. While I can't guarantee how my mental health will play out, we appear that we will have sufficient funds for this phase and that will remove at least one of the stressors that my siblings and I had with our mom.[/quote]
