[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ever feel like someone has no experience but is eager to google for factoids?[/quote] I have been the primary caretaker for all of my grandparents as well as several great aunts and uncles and cousins in that generation. I’ve also been the feet on the ground for their friends without local family (really difficult when out of town family with no clue makes the decisions and all you can do is mitigate). I shared the statistics because the idea that everyone ends up in AL or SNF is not true, and there are things we can do to avoid or stave it off. As I said, not everything is in our control, but many of us can make choices that give us more and better time on our terms, and many will be able to avoid it. [/quote]
