Just want to say how lucky you all are to still have your parents. My mother died when she was 63 and my father at 73. They never required special care or assistance. My husband and I have no long term care insurance at all. Most of my friends who have parents in assisted care facilities have bought long term care insurance for themselves. I do not mean to hijack this thread, but do most of you have long term care insurance? I would like to at least look into it, but my husband seems to feel that there is no need to. His parents were much older when they died, but his father required no long term care and his mother needed it for just three weeks, as she died three weeks after we hired someone to care for her in her own home, which is what she wanted.
