  <title>Where are we most independent as we age?</title>
  <description>This week we turn independence upside down.&amp;amp;nbsp; We think we're independent when we can live and receive care in our homes, but that forces our family to reshape their lives to support our progressing needs.&amp;amp;nbsp; Then families feel really bad when they realize they can't do it - they never knew how much work and time it takes. So many parents beg their children to never &amp;quot;put&amp;quot; them somewhere.&amp;amp;nbsp; Or when the subject comes up, they exclaim,&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;I'm not ready yet!&amp;quot; But then, after they do move to Senior Living, the new exclamation becomes &amp;quot;OMG, why didn't I move her sooner?&amp;quot;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Senior Living communities are evolving to meet Baby Boomer demands for comfort and activities.&amp;amp;nbsp; Today, the good ones can be considered Resorts with Help. The better ones, with the best employees who can nurture our well-being and create a great culture cost more than others.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; The median cost for assisted living today across the country is $75,000 annually and is expected to increase to over $200,000 per year in 20 years.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; That's median, so the resort like places will cost more.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; We need to prepare today so we can choose where we can live later.
