This is so helpful for me. We have been tossing around a move for a couple years now. I am confused about the continuing care community Not taking folks with dementia. Isn’t that the whole point of those facilities? We visited one in the Boise idaho and one in southern Utah. They are both beautiful setups, however we don’t buy a home you rent. Im worried about using too much of our savings. We are 69 & 70. If healthy hubby lives to his 90s we could be in a pickle.
Thanks for your thoughts!

I saw an Elder Care lawyer specifically about finances, how to protect yourself, and tips for preparing for this inevitability. It was overwhelming but did set me up for success instead of failure.
Good luck!
