Although I'm an older lady, I'm wonderfully healthy and strong for my age. But when and if the time comes when I need a little extra help at home to stay independent and out of a nursing facility, I want to KNOW there'll be the right amount of home health care available. It's so much more cost effective anyway! Barring accident I have the genes to outlive most people, and as time goes by these matters loom larger on my horizon.

The 100-yr-old house I bought to rennovate has an extremely narrow and steep staircase up to the second floor. A lot of people told me that was the main reason they didn't buy the house before I found it. And of course they question my sanity partly because I did buy the place. But those stairs provide great exercise, and I don't intend to install a stair chair one minute before it's necessary. Maybe it never will be!
