I am 62 and work full time, but have been diagnosed with Parkinsons and I am considering continuous care. Can i start paying now or do i need to move in first?

Needs more specifics. Things to watch out for, common trouble spots in contracts; most contentious areas after the fact. How about giving us a sample Standard contract or recommended contract? how about rankiing facilities? One problem wiht contracts is the facilities don't post them or let you see them ahead or change anything... recommended attorneys?

this verges on illegal. there are ~5 "reviews" on the entire website? they writing is unformative and crassly biased. GIGO, this is the lowest form of secretly-paid-for advertising.

I would think that a CCRC community necessary for those that have no children or family. As they age and one should die before the other, who will take care of the remaining one - should he/she develop dementia or alzheimers? With children, there is often a question of who will look after mom or dad? With none, a CCRC community seems to be a great option. Am I missing something here?
