[quote=Anonymous]The continuing care community is the best way I can think of to guarantee the remaining spouse will not get "left behind" and have care close at hand. Otherwise the remaining spouse will be at the mercy of relatives that will do the best they can(or are willing to do) but have their own lives to take care of. If you don't die first of illness or injury you will end up in a nursing home not of your choosing and on long term care medicaid. The long term care patients I had in the nursing home were the ones with little to no family.[/quote]
