Which means no support system, I know that if I do not die suddenly I will need to sell everything and move into an apartment in independent or assisted living. I have no idea how to manage all the decisions that would need to be made. Are there available services to help with that?
Start touring assisted living and independent living communities. They can help with the transition.
I live in a community of 55 plus. Some neighbors do help needy people but there is a point. I find that if a resident stops paying bills and is unsafe, the HOA can petition probate to assign guardianship who will help place a person in care and sell the home. This too requires billables from professionals.
So in the new year, off you go to a good elder law attorney in your area. Wishing you the best.
Kudos to you for asking!
the fact that your screen name is “GGoftwo” makes me guess you have grandchildren old enough to have children of their own. Are they in your life?
The best thing would probably be to do some investigation of your own, using this site. If you click on the magnifying glass symbol at top right on the page, you can search all the options and all the terms you need to know more about. You can probably arrange to go and have a look at the options, on the ground. Once you have a reasonably good idea of what you might want to do, you can find out how to go about it and what assistance will be available, eg what agents are usually chosen to sell the gated community dwellings. But you need to have some idea of what option/s you would want help with.
