[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: Our kids are 10 and 4.

She would not be open to living in an apartment, unfortunately. 🫠[/quote]

Well, you don’t have to be open to her living with you. Why are you only doing what she wants? She should’ve planned for this long ago. It’s not like you get dementia overnight. Sorry to be so blunt, but you seem to be making a lot of excuses.  [/quote]

OP: I'm not trying to make excuses, just saying what her mindset is. She specifically told me she didn't want to live in an apartment. I wouldn't be making this post if I didn't have misgivings about the idea of her moving in. I think it would be ideal if she moved into a retirement community or bought a 1-story house somewhere in the NOVA area. [/quote]

Go take a tour of Greenspring.  A place like that could be really good for her, assuming she can afford it.

Do you know what her reasons are for not wanting an apartment?  A place like Greenspring or another independent living facility would allow her privacy but also provide her with security and support, not to mention social opportunities. [/quote]
