[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have plenty of experience in this.  Best suggestions:

1.  Declutter and don’t hoard
2.  Move closer to family
3.  Prepaid funeral plans
4.  Decide ahead of time whether you eventually want to go to a CCC facility or age in place (24/7 aides are super expensive)
5.  Get a concierge doctor

DP here. I will add a few more -

6. Make family decisions and when your kids think that you should move. Trust them. 
7. Keep your legal papers etc in good condition and keep kids informed. Make sure that you divide the inheritance according to the wishes of all your children so that there in no ill-will among them. 
8. Write a playbook for your kids for various scenarios so that they can follow through on what needs to be done if you die or your spouse dies.
9. CCTV and Ring Camera.  Secure your home.  Don't keep valuables at your home. 
10.  Invest in making your house elderly friendly - bars in the bathrooms, anti-skid floors, escalator. 
11. Keep ahead of your health checkups and don't wait for illness to become hard to treat. 
12.  Make sure that you are keeping pace with all the benefits AI and Robotics will bring to your life.  
13. Wear a hearing aid if you need it. Get your vision checked.  
14. Work on your muscles so that you don't have falls when you get older.
