As opposed to routinely sending you to the ER at drop of hat? If so, what has been your experience? If you don't mind detailing, has it affected cost?
Paula Span did a piece on this in the Times in last few months. It was really eye opening read. Assisted living facilities do not want the liability nor regs which will come with.
Assisted living is the Real Estate model, not necessarily the care model. So this new thing will bear watching.
Ala carte care.
More and more assisted living facilities are dealing with an increasingly sicker census. And because this is the model more easily sold to resident and family, this is the model where largest changes might make debut. When so much of the commentariat to Paula span's articles in the Times opt for self eradication, there's more than a ripple there.
The models will have to change.
There is also a frequent poster to Paula spans articles in Times who spells out the trip to Switzerland for end of life. Flight fare and 9k. If this is where we are as a society...i choose self eradication over choices the market is offering me.. We are in trouble.
