Then there’s the thought of who will take care of me? And how long will I be in a convalescing facility. When I get out, will I be able, as an elder, to take care of myself or be involved in an assisted living facility? Do I have someone close to me who can help? How much should I rely on my children? How incapacitated will I really be? Will I need a nurse?

There are many questions about what will happen to us when we are extremely sick. And now, while you’re well, is the time to decide your course of action.

Know which convalescing homes are in your area. Tour them now. Write down which one you’d like to go to so that there is no question as to your wishes. If you live alone, post your information somewhere so that everyone is aware of its existence, such as taped to your dresser mirror.

If you need nursing care, find a competent company now, in your area and call for rates, that way you know for how much to budget, and your destination and the experience will not be so unnerving.
