I live in a rural area but in my own home, which I do not want to leave. I had 2 strokes about 18 months ago and spent 5 weeks in a nursing home. My daughter and hubby brought me home and moved in with me for 4 months. I was using a walker, but gradually got off it. They live 7 miles away and check on me frequently; also take me to grocery store, Dr., library, chair yoga class, sometimes Church. I have a nearby couple who do anything I can't manage for $25 an hr. I will be 88 next month, so thankful!
