Moving the Goalposts

[Mortblanc]

What is your definition of "really elderly"?

65? 80?

And what is the definition of not being able to "look after oneself"?

If it is something as simple as forgetting to turn the cookstove off or not being able to climb stairs that is one thing but if there are medical issues and true disabilities involved one would prep in a totally different manner.

All in all there will probably be very little difference in your preps, unless you were planning on a foot race with the "golden horde" and living under a tarp in a hedge row.

My son has already informed me that when the big day comes he intends to sign me up for a senior day care so he can drink up all my good bourbon while I am out. But my DIL has promised to guard the stash as long as I share and she bakes an excellent chocolate chip cookie that one can chew even without teeth.
