[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your parents won't be safe in assisted living either. This idea that assisted living is safer etc is just a marketing ploy. Of course they have not converted to one floor living. They are old and need your help. You need to cover the house to one floor living. Move their bed downstairs. Put a gate on the stairs. Make sure their downstairs bathroom is wheelchair accessible. Make the upstairs bedrooms habitable for you to stay in so you can visit frequently[/quote] I can attest that Assisted Living is absolutely safer and much better socially. It also makes your life easier as the adult child. Most importantly, they can have a life. Aging in place was a special kind of h&ll.[/quote]
