[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all elderly people are suffering from Alzheimers.  Not all of them need to be in a care-facility over being home with their grown kids.  [/quote]

That's the way you look at it.  I, personally, have zero expectation of moving in with my grown kids and expecting them to spend their free time tending to me, driving me around, taking me to appointments and on their family vacation.

At the same time, my own door will always be open to my adult kids and I hope to be able to be an involved grandparent should I ever be blessed with grandchildren.

When the time comes where I no longer want to be responsible for home/yard maintenance and I could use a little assistance with housekeeping and cooking I'll most likely move into an over 55 community where I can take advantage of group outings, activities, on site hair salon, the shuttle bus, etc.

If my health really goes downhill I'll transfer to assisted living or a nursing home - whichever is appropriate for my needs.
