A place for you

My family has always been my source of strength and happiness. I am so grateful that I am now blessed with two kids and a loving husband. But sometimes, I can't help but face the realities of life. Time flies swiftly, that soon my kids will have families of their own. I don't expect my kids to forever stay with me as I will fully understand them if they want to stay with their own families. But if they will like me to find shelter in their own homes, then I am good with that too.

I have an aunt and uncle who is childless , and at his point in their life, they wanted to just stay in a home care facility in their area. At first it was not into their norm, but when they experienced being sick, and no one was here to help them, that's when they longed for a family. They asked about senior independent living in their area. It my not offer home car , but it has housekeeping and recreational activities-something they both need now. But my uncle got terribly sick late last year so he needs additional care with medicines and other stuff. My aunt went around the area and checked the assisted living communities there. She never knew that there's a lot of housing options available which is depending on your needs. There's skilled nursing facilities, board and care homes, and even senior apartments and villas. I wasn't also aware of these , it is only now when my aunt got into assisted living facilities. This type of facility provides different levels of assistance for the seniors who may need help in their daily life and medications. This is more independent than a nursing home, and i think this is the perfect one for my relatives. She still wants to be independent and do things in her own, but she may need assistance with some other things like medicines etc.

I really can't say it if I will no or will go into this assisted living communities. but if time will come that me and my husband will face this decision, I will certainly stay there if that would be the best for us health wise. I think it would be better than just styaing at home alone, because there we have some people who can interact and socialize with us.
