[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Age in place is hugely taxing on the adult children even when the patient has enough money to hire full time aides. The administration of that alone is a lot, plus filling in when caregivers are absent, etc. Some caregivers won’t do meal prep, some won’t do bathing, etc etc etc. Endless Dr appointments and errands and constantly adjusting to the latest decline. It’s brutal even when the finances are good. [/quote]

Agree with this.  Also I find the admin/bill pay aspect takes a lot of time.

The real positive to the aging in place is that I've worked very diligently on cleaning out Mom's house.  House attic is empty. Garage attic is empty.  All valuables are out of the house and either dispersed to family or sold. I'm purging as much as possible from the house to lessen the load at the end.

Now I'm working on fixing up the house for future sale while Mom is still living in it.  Last year I had the outside of the house re sided.  This year the interior will probably get painted.[/quote]
