I Live in a First Class Assisted Living ALZ/Memory Care Facility

My 'stuff' is mostly 2nd hand, apart from my bed and a couch which were both new.

I long ago had to get rid of heirloom furniture; things my parents bought for their Silver Wedding, items left by my great-aunt and great-grandparents; pretty much everything of any commercial and sentimental value.

I gave away the majority of my precious, precious books; kept just a few my sons bought me over the years but I can't read them of course.

I own no jewelry (I even had to sell my wedding ring) and even my PC is over a decade old (my son built it).

I choose to have a very minimalist lifestyle and if I don't use something for 6 months, I give it away.

And that, should I have enough warning, is what I shall do if I need to go into extra care. I'll ring the Hospice Shop and let them take everything my son doesn't want.

Good on you lonjay.....and the food's not bad either (as per the recent plate you uploaded).
Gonegirl ?

Gonegirl, I've threatened to do that many a time.

Think I'll do the same. Sunrise Homes sound great. I will leave my stuff here with DH.

Sounds ideal Good for you.

Great - but what did you do with all your ''stuff''?

lonjay A man after my own heart!

I too gave up driving before I was officially supposed to and should I get to the stage where I need extra care, I would never want my kin to be exhausted by looking after me, however willing they might be. So I'll be signing myself in, just as you have.

Good on ya!

How fortunate you are to be able to get everything together so well and be near your family. Do you also have Alzheimers?

Anyone and everyone is welcome to Gransnet, lonjay and we look forward to hearing more from you.

Sounds perfect, good for you, long may you live to enjoy it!
