The state of Washington has had a good reputation for senior citizen group homes, but the waters can get muddy fast. Homes that may care for 3 or so elderly people will charge more to a buying, since the residents are part of the deal. Read more here.
People are living longer (we are told), and who will care for our parents, spouses, aunts and uncles, when we can't? Our government needs to regulate (and enforce) group homes and nursing homes. But, where do we find enough trained caregivers? Who will care for YOU, when your time comes? And believe me, you never know when that time comes---you can no longer live independently.
This is a bigger problem than any that lies ahead; and the greatest heartache.
