[quote=Anonymous]Having been through the phases with both parents, from the beginning of health decline through death, I can tell you this much: Don’t bank on the expectation that your parent will go from living independently to sudden death. There will likely be at least a 1-6 month period of required round-the-click care, likely coming after a 1-2 year period (at minimum) where at-home help with some needs (cooking, dressing, bathing) is necessary. Either they pay, or you pay.[/quote]
