These ideas sound useful if one has the financial resources. I am concerned about my future - 84 years old, living by self, fairly healthy for my age and still able to take care of myself. My worries are that I will become disabled, either mentally or physically and have no place to go other than a nursing home. Not a problem except that we know many of the homes have difficulty taking care of their patients due to a lack of funds. The stories the residents tell are sad - lie in bed for hours with wet 'diapers', have to use the bathroom but need help which is not always available on the spot, falling from bed or while up on their feet and incurring injuries that are not always looked after immediately following the fall, etc. I admit I'm worried about my future as I age....my hope is I die at home, peacefully. I don't want to continue living without the privilege of having what I need to in order to make my last years comfortable
