Do you have a caregiver?
Within 2 years of my diagnosis, I moved from my house where I lived for over 31 years to move into a CCRC (continuing care retirement community). A CCRC is a type of retirement community in the U.S. where a continuum of aging care needs—from independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care—can all be met within the community. Although I still live independently, my former house had several floors and it was getting harder and harder for me to maintain on my own. Since my life partner passed in 2015, I have no caregiver and I did not want to burden my friends with worrying about me as my PD progresses., so I decided to make the move. I am one of the youngest people here (64) and many here are in their 80s and 90s.
Do you have a caregiver? Have you made plans for your future care?
