Quoting myself as 5 years later, my dad decided he had enough of house maintenance and he found a wonderful independent & assisted living community that he moved into this past April. He really loves the interaction and it’s been amazingly good for his mental health.Quote:

This!!! My mother shocked the bejesus out of me by suddenly committing to a 3 level (Ind., assisted, and skilled nursing) facility, after screaming for years that she'd never leave her house. I wish I could say it was something I said or did, but ultimately I think she just recognized that living alone out in the country would end badly. The assisted living and skilled nursing were invaluable after she suffered a major stroke and broke her hip, and the simple logistics of being able to quickly make the transitions was much appreciated by both her and myself.Quote:

My aunt & uncle did this. Downsized and moved in to a posh community that had independent, assisted and nursing all in one campus. They worked their way through until the passed. It was effortless for them and their kids.Quote:

We lost my dad to Parkinson’s last year and my mom in 2020 to a combination of things that developed over a number of years following a stroke. My FIL is still holding it together despite some challenges, living alone at 90. Hang in there. It’s not easy but you can handle it.
Peace, love, and vibes.Quote:

Saturday late afternoon.
Mom is home. Still having breathing episodes, but nothing like the other night. Bottom line is no cure for COPD.
