Reading these posts and seeing everyone in nursing homes or as one post said all the elderly in trailer parks it looks like family won't always save you.  Even if you have children you will most likely end up in the nursing home with the people without children.

This is why I am already saving for later and taking care of my health now.  Hopefully that will give me more good years than bad later on however what can be done about it, you could have all the money in the world and get dementia.  That's why social services are so important and subsidised housing is vital, it looks like most people get the help they need when they need it.[/quote]

Np. Our elderly relatives went to nursing homes when their kids couldn’t care for them. When they eloped weekly, called 911 in the middle of the night and kept falling down and breaking things. Not because their kids were evil. Dementia is hard and so is disability. [/quote]
