[quote=Anonymous]If the goal is to stay at home as long as possible, you can hire a service to make a plan for that. The will evaluate the house and make safety recommendations and evaluate your parents and make recommendations for help. It can be a shortterm or long term plan. They might not do anything with it, or they might take some fo the suggestions, or it might lay the groundwork for an eventual conversation about moving out. Many elderly folks with that plan just keep going until there is a crisis that lands them in teh hospital and then they are too compromised to come home. It kind of sucks to have to find AL or SN on an emergency basis and your choices will be limited, but that is one of the trade offs. [/quote]
