[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 to strong family bonds. In my family / immigrant community it's very common to have a family member move in and/or hire live-in helpers from the community to handle these end of life situations with dignity and grace. Usually the care and loving connection provided far exceeds what one would receive at a facility. [/quote] It's lovely to see when it is possible. But is it bonds or necessity though? Can they afford this expensive care elsewhere? And what does that really look like when the loved one has serious dementia (which is when most people actually look for LTC)? What price to the stress and lifestyle of a young family trying to care for dementia patient at home? It's actually dangerous.[/quote]
