[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The WaPo had an article recently about a company that helps people age in place. I love that idea for my future self. (I’m on my 50s). My ILs s are trying to stay in their house without making any changes. I saw my parents move and how hard that was on them. I like the idea of aging in place, if you can afford to set up your home to make it happen safely, so your kids don’t worry excessively. [/quote] What company? My parent is trying to do this and it is a nightmare. They promise you the moon, tell you horror stories about ALs and people no-show, quit. They contract with a bunch of places, claim they are all well-vetted, but most places are a revolving door of workers. Basically, it's great for the company of a family member lives closeby and can take on issues when it falls apart. I don't recommend it and it wouldn't be surprised if in the next decade or so we see less of this as families sue for negligence. [/quote]
