Well my Mother is 94 in a long term home in the UK and my father in law is 96 is in long term care in our city. My Mother would not want to live with her children but my fil would live with one of the kids but it is not going to happen. My Chinese hairdresser has her 84 mother living with their family. Apparently that is the culture. Anyway my Mother can still write cheques so I feel that she can control her finances but once she cannot do that I feel that she is losing control and might have to revert to an executor. There is a big difference between 80 and mid nineties. Yes I think that living in a house is way superior to a condo. Hire somebody to cut the grass, do the snow in the winter etc. To me a condo is a step closer to the grave. Others may disagree!?
