Who's going to take care of you and feed you the cat food? Many dementia patients get violent, I can almost guarantee you that your children and/or spouse won't be up to the task of looking after you for long once you've forgotten who they are and start attacking the stranger in your own home who's trying to feed you.
It's worth having that discussion now with your family.

I'd be interested to see the statistics on how many well-wishing home owners' properties actually end up passed down to their children versus how many get sold to pay for their care.

Crazy cat lady will end up in big legal trouble for treating someone like that.

My mum is an aged care nurse and residents having their homes sold to fund their care is pretty common.

It makes me a little bit sad when people say their house will be left to their kids, it's a romantic thought but may well not happen that way.

It also makes me scoff when people use that as a justification of why they bought more than they realistically needed.

Check out the supermarkets, often tinned sardines and sandwich tuna (from where ever) are cheaper than tinned cat food. Cat eats them just the same, however we don't !

Because people are willing to pay.

Look at the explosion in mobile dog-washing businesses. There was a time you'd just hit the mutt with the hose in the backyard....
