My husband and I have watched our parents and grandparents age, and we’ve tried to take notes. We’re trying to incorporate features in our house as we remodel that will make living here as we age easier, if we have to live here when we’re older. (We’re planning on renting it out for some side income when we move to our future homestead.)
For example, we’ve remodeled the bathrooms according to ADA standards, and our hallway is wide enough to easily use a walker or wheelchair in.
I’m so happy for you that you have someone you can trust to do some things and help you out around your house. Unfortunately, many are taken avantage of, and don’t have anyone to help.
Good that you are advance planning!
It sucks to not just get old but to have very few who you can trust.
