She suggested I get long-term health care. I think I've waited too long for that since we are in our mid 70's. I think it will be too expensive. However, I have contacted a company to get information. Also, I'm concerned about having to sell my home in order to pay a nursing home. I will do whatever is necessary. I really intend on keeping him home if possible.
I normally don't think that far ahead, but by reading about everyone elses problems, I feel I must be knowledgable.
Thanks for listening.

Are you aware of anything else that they might do? I was wondering if they might have "end care" in a nursing home.
