Sally, Jim and I have talked about this if something was to happen to me. The boys of course say they will care for their dad but we all know nothing is as good as living on your own and not with your kids. So, Jim has made the decision he will sell the house and go to live in an assisted living facility. BUT, there are several kinds you can look into. For example, there are assisted facilities where you rent a room and can decorate it yourself. There are assisted facilities where you have your own apartment and your cost is based on your needs (bathing, meds, etc). Look into this. Jim wants to live in his own apartment and have a nurse come in to set up his meds and bathe him and get him up. The nursing staff would be on call 24/7 for him as needed. The facilities we looked into have a nursing home on the grounds in case you get sick and need temp or full time care as well as pt services, etc.

In the meantime, to you because I know how scared you must feel. Jim worries too.
