[quote=Anonymous]Toileting, bathing, and medication management are some of the hardest activities of daily living to outsource. If you move to an apartment or condo, or even a small one floor house where you can renovate the bathroom to be handicapped accessible, it could allow you to live independently for a lot longer. Install a bidet and grab bars to assist with toileting, and put in a step-free shower (wheelchair accessible if needed) with lots of handrails as well. The longer you can manage bathroom independence) or make it easier for a spouse or home health aide to help you, the longer you can stay in your home if that is what you want. There are lots of gadgets and devices that can help now with medication management for someone who is still able to eat and swallow pills normally, just needs help organizing what to take. [/quote]
