[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep envisioning us selling our current house, moving to a lower cost area and buying a home on acreage w/guest house to be used by family in need, maybe even a trailer as opposed to a guest house (there are nice ones).  And then hiring home health aides as/if needed ...that way everyone has their own space but they are still close to monitor/help/visit.

I don't know if that is a practical plan or not.  Anyone else think like this?[/quote]

My parents were in great health so we just purchased a new home without a first floor bedroom. I regret that decision because now they are having significant health issues. Quite suddenly so you never know. Parents have some savings, not enough for long term care due to low income jobs. makes it harder to knwo they worked so hard and saved everything they could and it isn't close to enough to age gracefully.

I like the idea of a trailer and we have the land for it. I know some of them are very nice. Would stil need to pay $$$$ for in home care, but it wouldn't have to be round the clock.[/quote]
