Housing becomes a delicate issue as the needs of seniors change.  Negotiating this balance can be strenuous and consuming.  Is it safe for your loved one to be living alone?  What other options are available? Whether moving into more appropriate independent housing or searching for a long-term care facility, choices are difficult to make, especially from a distance.
