[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please remember this when it actually comes time. If I have learned anything in dealing with the elderly is that when they are young they swear they will be independent and not need help. But when the time comes, they definitely want help.

Things look very different when you actually need help.[/quote]

I think what everyone here is saying is that we have a plan for the help, and our kids aren't Plan A.

I feel bad for families with parents that can't afford any help- those are the people that will be in a bind.[/quote]

I get that. But I was responding to the people who say they will take themselves out, or will never want help, and they'll put a plan in place. But reality is plenty of people say that, and very few actually do what is necessary to make it happen. Moreover, there is simply a lot that elderly cannot do. And if you, as the child, live anywhere near the AL facility, they will call you to deal with difficult situations anyway. [/quote]
