[quote=Anonymous]Op I would try to get an evaluation done on your dad by having the sibling closest to him suggest a full medical work up.  This would give all concrete information on how best to plan for his care.  I round suggest a CCRC for him if they have the money as his needs would be met there fairly well in meals and maybe an outside person once a week for laundry snd some simple frozen meal prep.  A medical evaluation would also see if dad needs a different POA and Health Care Directive than your mother.

Your mother sounds like she could handle her own affairs fairly well, but again getting someone to figure our what their finances are will help you all know if she is fully aware or likely to blow her half in a couple of years .  If she sees plans are being made for dad’s care she may settle down and decide to go with him as places can be 2-bedroom/bath units so almost like living separately, but still together as she wants.  She could also easily find other women to travel with or do similar interests.  Folks grow apart on old age two, but you just want both protected.  And you do not necessarily look death in the face at 81/82.
