Hi Carol, It is very hard to know what the best plan to make. There are board and care Homes and some senior housing is connected with a full assisted living dept. Go visit the different sites and ask lots if questions. I live with my daughter for now. I will most likely go some type of nursing home when I can't stay at home. Blessings sent your way.
Do you have caregivers helping you at home? We found this great program called the Waiver Program through the Pennsylvania Office of Aging that pays for caregivers (Many states have a similar program). There is a lot of paperwork up front, but once you are in it is easy to use. My wife gets 71 hours of care paid for through the program. Good Luck, Paul and Sucheta
Thanks Paul and Sucheta
