My parents have lived in their home for 50+ years and intended to spend their entire life there. It is clear that they would be better off living in a facility with peers, activities, no stairs and especially the stress-free living of being maintenance free. Without insisting, how can I help them see that an independent living facility would be wonderful for them?
