[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am never, ever putting my kids through the hell of "age in place."[/quote] I am at the tail end of elder care. My parent is now in a nursing home in a continuing care retirement community. Mom lived first in an assisted living facility, not the CCRC but I got her in at the last minute.. The ALF was one of those that may have been the best around, but I think the entire assisted living model as commonly practiced is flawed. As a frail señior becomes more frail, they need nursing home care, not the ALF. Keep in mind where people pass. Less than 20% do so at home, and some of those get back only within a few hours of their passing. [/quote]
