Statistics now tell us that one

out of two people who survive

to age 80 and beyond will be

required to enter a nursing

home simply because of their

care needs at that time. If they

do not have the funds to pay

for that, and most don't, then it

will be up to society to

Over the past 30 years or so, more people have been

kept alive than previously, due to advanced medical

techniques and procedures. In prior years, these

to be aging and wondering where they are going to

live out their final years.

There are some serious changes facing everyone,

changes that are probably going to work out

differently than expectations. It is going to take lots

of discussion and understanding to make the proper

decisions that work in favor of both the parents and

the rest of the family in these situations.
