I'm 78. This is Why I Will NEVER Go to a Nursing Home.

I have seen the inside of the finest nursing home money can buy, and my friend Walter asked me the same four words every visit: get me out, Matt. I'm 78 years old, and after what I watched happen to him, I built a five-part plan to live in my own home, on my own terms, for as long as I draw breath. Today I'm giving you the whole thing. The people who end up where they swore they'd never go aren't the ones who lacked money. They're the ones who lacked a plan, until one bad Tuesday let somebody else make the plan for them. This is not about denying that some situations truly need professional care. It's about making sure that day comes as late as possible, and that until it does, you are the one deciding.
