[quote=Anonymous][quote]You never know when the crisis will hit. For some it’s at 65, others at 95. And it’s easier to get settled at 65 or 70, when you are in relatively good health than wait until you are 75-80 and it’s much more difficult[/quote]

Not sure what "settled' looks like to you. Not sure what you mean. It's too vague. Cared for 4 parents who have passed and am 60 yrs old myself. I'm not making plans at 60 for what I *think* I'll need at 80. That's twenty years. I remember when I was younger, in my 50's, expressing to my Mom my frustration that she had no plan. How could she have no plan? How irresponsible! Now having lived through 4 elders passing, I know no "plan" would have made much of a difference. Reality is: you make the best decision -at the time-, at the time it's needed. A plan is not going to protect you from heartache, from sadness. It's not going to protect family from the need to step-up or step-in to theBased on the what's actually happening. We would never have been able to anticipate, for example, that "the well parent" would actually die first. [/quote]
