69. Good for you

I am glad you are making the decision and taking action. My folks lived in the same house for 45 years and would not leave, ever. Even when they could not get up and down the stairs, could not drive, never. My sister and I had to hire caregivers, do shopping, balance the checkbook, have first alert alarms, you name it. We both had full time jobs, and the stress was almost too much to handle. Toward the end, both my folks had dementia and could not perform basic tasks. If they had made the decision to move to assisted living before they became too infirm to do it, things would have been better for the whole family. In the end, we had an estate sale and got rid of most of the things in the house. My sister and I took the things that were important to the family. I wish you all the best, and you are making the right decision.
