Wow - I know we've kind of hijacked this thread, but I'm amazed to see how many people have told their kids the same thing I told my son - "no matter what I say or how much I complain, put me in a home" - He's an only child and I just don't want him to give up his life for me. I was able to get long term care insurance through my job (that I can keep when I retire in a few years), plus we've also had 'the conversation' so he can proceed without guilt.
