<prompt> Human: My parents are divorced. My Mom is 70 years old, retired, and generally a very private person. I reviewed her basic financial standing sources of income, savings, debts, insurance, etc for the first time ever over Thanksgiving. Now that I understand what shes got to work with, Id like to help her explore whats next for her when she can no longer live at home and care for herself.What I dont understand is what her options are when this happens? Theres lots of info about saving and preparation for a parents death or incapacitation, but not much on the normal progression of things. Shes out of town, so I suppose a first step when shes ready would be to move her to her own place in my city. But whats next? a 55 community? assisted living? in home care? nursing home?What Im looking for here is some advice or history on how others have managed this transition. When my Mom visits for Christmas, I want to take her to have a look at a few places to see what she wants to do when shes ready, vs what she can afford, but Im not sure where I should begin or what kind of places I should be taking her to. If Im in the wrong place, be happy to take some redirecting on where I should be looking on reddit for this kind of info.Thanks!  <response>: I think we need a flair just for this topic, now that the baby boomers are reaching that age.
