[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  Sunrise Senior Living will let "age in place" and you may only need skilled nursing if you need an IV or feeding tube. You may NEVER need skilled nursing. Sunrise will work with you, if hospice is needed. Yes, it will be at a cost, it is not cheap. There are options out there. [/quote]

I looked into this. (not OP). First off, to be clear, this is not the aging in place delusional parents like mine do where they plop themselves in their homes and expect us to magically figure it all out as they decline into hostile, stubborn and needy folks. This is 100 steps up because you are at a facility that can provide food, acitivities and sometimes onsite doctors, etc... The Sunrises I called do not allow feeding tube, etc in their AL situation. You must be in skilled nursing, even if you hire 24=7 care.

Different facilities are able to provide different levels of care.  I only know NY because that is where I’ve researched, but in NY some assisted living facilities have what is called an “enhanced license” which means they are able to do care through end of life.  So if you need the things found in skilled nursing, they are able to provide it.  They typically won’t take if you are currently at that level, but if you move in for AL and need more care later, they can provide that for you.  [/quote]
