[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still trying to figure out how you can be old for your age when you're in your early 80s.  My father lived until 90, so I'm familiar with the age group.[/quote]

My MIL and my father are a year apart, both in their late 80s. My MIL needs help with ADLs, can't see well, can't hear well, needs dental work that she refuses to get, and has some cognition problems. She watches a lot of TV.

My father has a hip replacement and needs a hearing aid. He can still drive, does woodworking, gardens, reads voraciously, and participates in a Bible study at church and  a current events discussion group his continuing care facility.

OP, I'd like to make a huge push for getting them to move someplace from which they will not have to move again. My parents have a ton of friends where they live, and they will never have to move again. My MIL won't give up her house, and she sees almost no one, because her old friends are either dead or unable to get to her house on their own. It is really sad. [/quote]
