Mom has Alz, but is trying to be frugal and functional. She called her Insurnce company asking how to reduce her home insurance, and instead was quizzed about her whereabouts and told that vacant homes are often vandalized so the rates will go up. She has a lot of neighbors and family in the area so the home is frequently visited for maintenance. The house is probably safer than when she lived there and tried to maintain it. Mom is so upset by this that she says she is returning home.
She is much safer and around people at AL. With our brutal winters she would be isolated for months at home. We worked so hard to convince her to try AL. Are the statements and actions of this company typical?
We will proceed to sell the house while Mom lives in it.
It doesn't matter if family checks the house on a regular basis or neighbors have a key to go inside. Something like a broken water pipe may go unnoticed until someone goes into the house, and by then major damage have been done.
