As you age, you need to consider what options you have for housing. Don’t wait until an emergency situation when you have to find care quickly. Take some time beforehand to consider what options are out there so that when the time comes you can make an informed and better decision.
1) Age in place - with a few modifications you may be able to live safely and comfortably in your home
2) Move in with your kids - it can slash your living expenses- you won’t be lonely- this option would need clear guidelines and compatibility
3) House Sharing - you could choose to live with another senior. If you are a widow and have a friend that is a widow you may decide to live together and share expenses
4) Independent Living Communities- senior apartments that have private space for independent living but have access to social activities
5) Assisted Living - if you need assistance with meals, housekeeping, hygiene, and medication
6) Life Plan Communities- where when needed you can transition from independent living, to assisted living, and then to skilled care
7) Subsidized Housing- this is housing for seniors based on income and there is usually a long waiting list
