[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP. Another post reminded me. In independent living, you had to pay someone if you needed someone to check on you. My mom was paying about $30 a day for a check-in who dropped in to make sure meds were taken and my grandma could get up and walk. Sometimes she had arthritic troubles getting out of her chair during the last year of her life. My mom visited about 4-5 days a week so this person was an extra daily contact.[/quote] Well yes because the definition of [b]independent living[/b] is that you don't need any extra outside help on a daily basis. If you need someone to ensure you take your meds, you must pay for that (if the facility themselves will even provide it---many require you to go to assisted living for that). [/quote] Then what makes it different from just a plain 'ol apartment?[/quote] If you fall down and shout for help, someone will likely hear you and come to help. [/quote]
