[quote=Anonymous]For my in-laws, we had to find the assisted living place online. We're hundreds of miles away, online, trying to research best places. Meanwhile, in-laws are driving right by it everyday. Oh, and know people there. They pretend to know nothing about it. Pretend they didn't even know it was there.

Fast forward, MIL moved in after a hospitalization. One of several. All focus was on getting her settled-in and adjusted. Meanwhile the well-parent died. He'd been fine. Healthy, going to the gym daily, 7 years younger. All this to say, you never know. I use to think the best plan mattered. That all would be ok if there was just a plan.

For my parents, one SIL begged and guilted and wouldn't stop insisting we all rally and get my parents into an assisted living facility. She proclaimed each holiday that it was their last,  and how dare we not be there. Reality was Parents lived another 12 - 15 years. Her intentions were good - but she didn't know.
