Visited an assisted living facility today

It is time for my mom to move into such a facility. She is 91 and shouldn’t be living alone. Its just too hard for her. We have found one that is just beautiful, very close to home, and has lots of programs that would be great for her. She is worried that it will cost too much. It looks like her long term care insurance will cover it for three years. My brother and I will cover the rest of the cost after that runs out. Who knows what will happen in three years. She will get a nice studio apartment, with a wetbar, three meals a day, transportation, medication management. She will be safe. She will be in her own community. It will be easy to care for her. It just is the right solution. Now we just need to get her to agree and to move this forward.
