““Assisted living” is a scam.”
My 95 year old uncle lived in one for almost 6 years. His wife died and no kids and while healthy he was prone to falling and had seizures every so often.
He was super independent and did not want to live with family(he was offered numerous times)but realized he would end up dead living alone either from a fall or something similar.
Here, the sheriff’s dept. has a free computer call service that calls every day. If you don’t answer the phone, a deputy comes out to make sure you are alive.
