[quote=Anonymous][quote]My Mom comes from a culture where extended family live together. She doesn't want to live with me. We love each other, but are oil/water. Her last days would be of us fighting all the time.

We just got on the waitlist for a Continuing Care Community. They can live there while still Independent and move up levels of care as needed. The place was like a college campus. It was awesome.[/quote]

Yes.  I think there are more and better options than in years gone by.  They are not cheap.  My hope is that I will not have to spend time in a nursing home.  My parents both died while in assisted living (run by a religious group as a non-profit).  They went quickly and did not need a high level of care for very much time (never went into nursing home).  My dad was in assisted living for less than a month and my mother was there for only 8 months.  The assisted living was connected to the independent living (a wing of the building) so my mother was wheeled into my dad's independent living apartment for part of every day during her 8 months in assisted living.  That was great for both of them.  It was as good as it gets really.  [/quote]
