The Five Types Of End-Of-Life Housing And Care

There are many different options for end-of-life housing and care arrangements, with the primary differences being in the amount of care offered by the different types of facilities and arrangements.

Evaluating Your Current Situation

When thinking about where to live at the end of life, it’s important to be honest about the situation you face. While it may be difficult to admit that you can no longer manage certain aspects of daily living on your own, you and your family will ultimately be better off if you choose a housing option that actually meets your needs.
