[quote=Anonymous]Our neighbor - who recently passed away - was in that situation. Her husband had passed away years ago so she was on her own. She had a home care worker, though seemed to cycle through a number of those as they can be unreliable. She had a financial and health care advisor. She had a niece and nephew form NY who would drop in about 1x ever 5-6 weeks to check in on her. Mainly, though, the responsibility fell to the neighbors in the area who would check in on her. She had lived here since 89 or so and had long standing relationships with most of the residents in our tight knit community. Two neighbors in particular checked in on her daily. I think they were named as beneficiaries in her will. So if you are childless, you will need to be tight with your community, as they will have the most eyes on you when family does not live nearby.
