[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopefully, one can learn from dealing with parents to make better planning choices ahead so the cycle will not repeat itself. I agree the idea of aging in place and hiring help sounds great except —- who will do the hiring when you are in crisis and can’t handle it. Or dealing with memory issues and unable to for perhaps years?? [/quote] This. You have to move (or put other plans in place) before you need to, and that's where it falls down. My ILs moved near their kids, in a single level, wheelchair accessible house in a 55+ neighborhood, when they were in their healthy 60s. It was so smart! They have had time to make friends in a place where they can potentially stay a long time, even though they didn't need those amenities when they moved. [/quote]
