[quote=Anonymous]You don't know what you will actually do until you are in the position to have to choose. For example, my mom was the caregiver for so many, and swore she would never do that, that she would go to a CCRC. Then the book, "On Being Mortal" came out (she was early 70s), she read it, handed it to me to read, and said, "nope, we will bring in care when needed." Fast forward a decade, dad is losing his marbles, she had a mild (fortunately) stroke, and she says they are moving. We visited several places, and they moved about 4 months later. Fortunately, it's going well. They have made friends, participate in activities, and the food is delicious - we've joined them for dinner several times. They have a full kitchen, and do a combination of eating in or eating in the dining room - at this point I think most dinners they eat downstairs, and most breakfasts/lunches they eat on their own.[/quote]
