Hi Everyone,
I know this topic has been covered in various ways - apologies for repetition - I'm interested in this specific angle, any thoughts at all would be very much appreciated.
My mother, currently in her longterm home, is looking to downsize. We're looking at various options for flats in retirement villages (discussed on other threads). However she's in her mid-80s and although in good health, she may require additional care in a few years. Has anyone experience of downsizing for a short period before moving to (say) a care or nursing home? And what's the best way to pick the best combination of facilities. Some retirement villages have care homes attached - something like that could make sense. We're also trying to assess if it would make more sense for her to rent (either in a village or elsewhere) rather than buying.
Apologies again if this has been covered. We're trying to work our way through the options. Like I say any thoughts would be much appreciated. And for the record we live in London - she would prefer somewhere leafy on the outskirts.
