Thanks, Nicole ๐ด๐ต (Retirement Forum)
2 comments(1/13/23) I have always worried about dying alone here in my Studio Apartment and no one caring until it is time to pay rent/lol. ๐๐คฃ Also of late sad that I have not seen my only child who lives in Florida since 2019. ๐ช But I am working on getting things set up to hopefully move back to Florida this year 2023 or next year 2024. Never thought about dementia and other old age stuff until this week. It is like, how do I know I have dementia living alone? Does it happen while I am out driving - forget where I am? Lol, with the famous Senior Moments, I am use to forgetting where I left stuff or why I came into a room in my apartment. ๐คฃ๐ Nicole
I too worry about the same but just starting retirement. I have my brother but he is older than me. I have cousins but who has time to get to know people when you are working. Too bad that independent assisted living communities couldn't more like communes where the health people who by or rent apartments could help out the elderly who need more assistance as they age and either get reimbursement or guarantee help as they go through aging process and new health people come into independent assisting living. Even relying on family for people have them is not a guarantee today.
WE "appreciate" you stopping by @k40013h !!!! โ๐โ๐ฅณ, Nicole ๐

Hi@Anonymous ๐๐ธ
Those are real & important concerns for many of us!
Itโs even more of a concern for those of us who are elderly, poor, alone, & with disabilities!
On the more positive side.....you arenโt totally alone...
because you have us! ๐
Take care ๐ ~Allen ๐
