For those of us without family - Who will take care of you ?

One thing I would do is. Find a home one level easy in and out wide doors so a wheelchair can get though. Also, I do puzzles to keep my mind working. People have made fun of me for doing them, but I can tell it helps. Check companies like taxis, Uber and other services that can help.
I would recommend soon than later. I’ve seen too many family members wait too long then it is too late.

I agree with acting when we are still relatively healthy. I purchased a one level home years ago, and have updated it with the big ticket items that will outlast me.
My main concern, however, remains who will oversee my care when I’m unable. I will remain in my home and not go to an assisted care or nursing home. I’ve been privy to that industry and wish to not “go there”…
It’s comforting to know I’m not alone in this decision making process.
