Stevepaa:
We have a guest room upstairs and also a study downstairs that can be converted into a guest room. He loves activity and things going on. He is the type to stay up late, frequenly grabbing a few Z's in between his various cop shows and he gets up pretty early to exercise. He is a avid poker and pinochle player and is frustrated that none of the ol codgers in his hood want to gamble with him (that won't be the case in Texas!). As far as assitied living...he would hate it. Plain and simple. He thinks those places are "dying places" and he isn't dying. He struggled with putting my Mom in one, waited and waited and finally when she got to bad for him to care for her any more, she was admitted into a conv home. He is not much for hanging out with old people (over 60). He likes to gab with them but often tells me that they complain too much then I have to hear him tell me about "these people don't know what it's like to struggle, why when I was wounded in the WWII....

The only time my ol man took a chance was on an Indian blanket (according to my late Mom). I think that was a reference to unprotected sex but I am still unsure...
He is the type, always has been, that needs to be lead into something like this. Would he like it? Absolutley. He is crazy over my kids and loves activity. He is a very proud man and would not want to feel like he was inposing. In the end, if I told him that this was the way it was going to be, he would go along with it.
