SENIOR LIVING OPTIONS

 
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.
