[quote=Anonymous]Formulate and lock down your end of life plans to include whether or not you want a DNR order and under what conditions and age. My late father lived in a semi vegetative state and coded; revived and lingered for 6 grueling months and two weeks of hospice. My mom kept kept him alive despite rapidly increasing dementia symptoms through blood pressure meds and every treatment available as symptoms developed. They had outstanding comprehensive long term care insurance that I understand is no longer available likely because of patients like my father. His care was well into a million dollars - maybe far more. Two years in skilled nursing with hired aides.[/quote]
