We had some old friends over last night for dinner. My parents were their best friends, and we have remained friends even after my parents died. She is 88 and he just turned 90. She is having enough health problems and the beginning of dementia. He has been insulin dependent diabetic for the 30 years I have know them.
They are moving over the weekend to a Dallas retirement home just 4 miles from their daughter. The good news is their daughter married very very well. As the family she married into is one of the mega many billions of dollars families. The daughter opened her petty cash account and bought them a place at one of the brand new high end retirement facilities. All meals provided, and house cleaning and nurses to help with issues. It sounds like a really nice place. And the daughter hired an interior decorator to come furnish the place and make it look more like home. The daughter bought the very nice house they had lived in so she will take care of selling it.
They are a super nice couple, and really helped my parents with their end of life issues and they helped me a lot. I told them if there was anything they needed to call me. Fortunately they were never poor to start with, and their daughter has more money than she can spend. They deserve the best, as they are the best of friends and honestly very helpful people.
