How To Prepare For Old Age

Contributors to life
Awareness - of the people around you
Relationships - the people who are important you.

Nathan Adelson of Las Vegas,owner of the sunrise hospital of Las Vegas, they put together a hospice program to care for terminally ill patients

There was a terrible hotel fire in Las Vegas with 88 people died, Bernie spent three days notifying next of kin.

Petty differences between family members, regarding estrangements that result in residents of senior homes being very lonely.  People are living longer, but not necessarily a happy life.  One spouse becomes ill, the other spouse becomes the care giver, and they begin to lose touch.  This talk should take place early in life.  Talk about how you feel about things that may happen.

75% of deaths of people over 65, are caused by falls.  The falls typically can lead to pneumonia.

You need to discuss when you will lose their driving faculties.  Stop them from driving, so discuss how they should be handled early.  How do they want this situation to be handled.  Be proactive, be diligent.
