My worst fear. Dh does the cooking, he changes my recipes to make them his his own (sometimes good, sometimes bad) My beautiful pantry is no longer organized, DH takes/borrows stuff I liked having at hand. I'd be terrible in a nursing home but DH's caretaking skills are limited. I am in a chair, don't drive, do hate the loss of independence. DH swears he and the kids would never put me anywhere. Maybe. My mind is sharp, I take care of things not too physical (no longer clean pool) but if I'm fully cognitive, would not make it easy for anyone. Hope it's never coming up. My kids are on brink of college, life, etc. I'm too much a Mom to ever foist myself on them. DH is it then. I'm not completely afraid, nursing care and it's paperwork I could do, not sure DH could by himself. And he is a good guy.
