Your article is "right on the mark", with everything I have experienced with my 80 year old, who had a severe stroke 8 months ago. I ended up finding one, and only ONE private assisted care living residence, who would take her, with the condition that we provide a private PSW during the day, which we did. A beautiful place, great food, and a return to her dignity. After spending 5 months stuck in limbo in hospitals, we have dealt with exactly everything you mentioned here, including $6,000.00 invoice after we left the hospital, which they classify as long-term care. A dirt hole of a place!!!

If that generation is now in trouble, what does our future look like when/if we get there? A very scary prospect if you don't have a lot of money, and I mean "a lot of money"!!!!!

Merry Christmas!
