Good story, thanks. Luckily my parents can still live in their own home. They are still relatively fit and able bodied.
There are many alternatives to a nursing home though:
- Home Care
- Holistic Care Programs
- Subsidized Housing Care
- Senior Apartments
- Assisted Living Facilities
- Board and Care Homes
- Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCS)
Thanks for reading and commenting, @nzfxtrader! I'm only familiar with the standard nursing home, where both of my grandmothers and friends of the family sadly ended their lives. I am intrigued by the other options you listed and will learn more about them. Thanks again :-)
