[quote=Anonymous]A while back I was flipping though a local giveaway magazine for seniors and noticed a bunch of ads for private consultants who help seniors figure out next steps in terms of … well, I’m not sure? Assisted living options? Anything they need advice on? What do these advisors do, exactly?

My 80something MIL is in bad shape and in a bad situation, at home when she shouldn’t be. She is extremely stubborn and refuses to make any changes. FIL is trying to convince her to move to a particular senior living setting — I think they’re independent apartments, so nothing drastic, and even then she is adamantly against. I was wondering if a meeting with someone knowledgeable could help, in terms of both laying out a full array of possibilities and also turning the choice into less of a “these are interventions because you’re falling apart” kind of thing and more of a “ooh, look at these interesting possibilities that may offer you something you want!” kind of thing.  But not sure whether the fit is right between the situation and those types of advisors. Any advice welcome! And recommendations in MoCo would be great too, if you know of someone good. Thanks![/quote]
