As mentioned before I take care of my senior mother and we are looking for housing options for her. I'll get to what we found about assisted living in a moment, or maybe next time, but I did come across some interesting sites with information. For example this one on senior care and this one from another person who takes care of a senior.
It seems that this is a growing topic among bloggers. Some of these sites have some interesting statistics on senior care and how it impacts both the senior and the person caring for them. Interesting that people tend to write a lot about senior housing options as well. I guess that finding the right housing is a major issue. That means we are not alone and that the time I have spent looking into housing options is doing the right thing.
Of course is also means that there are a lot of senior citizens out there and a lot of people who care for them who we are competing with for the right housing option. Once thing I have already noticed with the senior housing places we have looked at, and is probably true for assisted living also, is there is a long waiting list. As morbid as it seems, you are basically waiting for a senior to die or move to a nursing home so that you can get their spot in the senior housing complex or in the assisted living facility.
Since I am running on here, I guess I'll pick up on assisted living next time.
