<p>Mom60,
Yes, it does take planning to anticipate the unexpected. H & I also purchased LTC last yr…not wanting to saddle our children with our day-to-day care. We are still fairly young and plan to retire before age 60. Hopefully, we will get a few yrs of traveling in before settling in to a life a leisure.</p>
<p>We lost the children’s great-grandfather last yr at age 94. We moved my parents nearby about 3 yrs ago due to health issues and better medical care. Dad no longer drives…so there have been issues we have had to deal with. In the last 36 months, he has had a heart attack, 2 angioplasties, and gall bladder operation…which reminds me, I have to make an appt for him to see his VA doctor. Such is life…</p>
