[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CCRC seems crazy expensive.

Relative is on a fixed income.

I’m definitely looking for a community with scalable care (seems common)—but everyone seems really frail.

If relative lives alone, they won’t manage their nutrition—so they need a place that provides meals and makes sure they aren’t skipping meals.

They have fallen before, although not recently. We are worried they might fall again if left alone and nobody would notice. They can do stairs, but not without risk—which is why we want them to move to AL (and why none of us can have them in our homes since they can’t do stairs unassisted).

They don’t drive anymore, which is a big reason why they would benefit from AL.

It’s become difficult to handle their bills. Another plus of AL.

So they want/need something, but can't afford it?[/quote]

No.

They can afford AL, but they don’t like it. They think everyone is too old/too frail.

AL is $5-7k/month where I’ve looked. Do-able, but they think it’s a place for old people to wait to die. [/quote]
