The is
written to help fellow seniors to know about what will be coming. These issues
will come to most of us unless death intrudes.
1 Stay in
one’s own home. Stairways and property care demand attention. Contract for services like cleaning and yard
work.
2. Move to
Independent Living in a retirement community where a single floor helps and
most indoor and outdoor chores are usually provided. Rent will be necessary.
Costs will vary. Many hospitals will have clinics with Care Coordinators and
services intended to enable staying home at considerable cost savings compared
to next options.
3. Assisted
Living in a Retirement Community. There will be significant limitations to
mobility and privacy.
4. Nursing
Homes. High costs. Variable quality of life provision.
5. Memory
Care Facility. Quality varies
significantly. Very High costs.
6. It helps
to have an Elder Care Attorney and Financial Planner early in the process.
