This is ridiculous, but I can't help thinking about the future already.

DD2 is only 4.10yrs, and I have no idea if she will ever be able to live independantly. There are some days where I think yes maybe she might, and others where I think she will definately need some kind of assisted living.

My question really is, if she is unable to live independantly (which is something I do need to consider), should I start saving now for some sort of residential care? How does it work? Who oversees the care of adults with disabilities?

Or in other words, is this something I need to plan for now?

It is early days I know, but wouldn't want to be 20 years down the line and not have planned for this. It's curiosity at the moment I guess.

TIA

daytoday thank you so much. We do try to involve her as much as possible, and she often wants to do DD2's exercises with her, or even do DD2's therapy herself with me watching. She seems to love this and it has also helped a lot with bonding the 2 girls.

I can see it'd be really hard to strike a balance, especially when she is older as I do very much want her to lead the life she'd like but I will be careful to not push her out.

Do you mind me asking, in what way did you feel pushed out? I just want to try and avoid doing this, as unintentional as it would be.
