gladimhere, thanks for posting that link. I know when I first came onto this forum 7 years ago, I was thinking why are seniors only moving to Illinois [IL], Alabama [AL] and New Hampshire [NH].

I always try to write out the acronyms in full, so others aren't scratching their head wondering what that abbreviation means.

We need acronyms for these;

"Husband wants his Mother to move in & me do all the caregiving"

"Only sibling willing to lift a finger to help"

"Dad wants to drive dispute advanced dementia"

"Mom says she is fine but fed the dog 28 times today".
