I have tried to take care of everything, but I am at a loss as to what to do if I go first and how to protect my husband, my girlfriend lives in Texas. Should one be looking for in home care? Senior living? How does one prepare for this?

I have the same feat. I am 56 and my husba d is 74. No kids and no relatives close by. We have lived our lives with one another and not much anyone else. We have healthcare poa and wills in place. You may want to establish guardianship in case you are not available. Unfortunately all this takes an attorney.

If you have an elder care lawyer, he/she may be able to give you advice. Senior centers and AARP may also have good suggestions. Go to the library, too. The librarians can help you find books and magazines on the subject of aging.
