[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are starting to look at what our options are for aging. I think it might be a condo, with an elevator, and in home care, until/unless we need assistedl iving. the hardest thing I think is figuring out where to live--we've moved a lot and would like to be near our immediate families, but our own kids will likely move around for a while until they settle down. And I know from my own experience that its really hard if you do not have a child nearby. Even if you choose a CCRC, once the sh&t hits the fan, either a child is flying out/visiting frequently, or you are adrift on your own. My own mom eventually moved to assisted living (later memory care) near me, but the move was traumatic for her and likely accelerated her decline. On the other hand, she was not able to handle living on her own and had no one really to help her and even though we hired care, she still managed to get in a financial mess so that experiment ended.
