gringal Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Some time ago, someone placed his mother in La Pueblita and paid a large fee up front. To say it didn't work out well is an understatement. Anyone remember that post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go there and visit the office and walk around a bit you should run into people who live there. I ran into a lady who lives there and who said she loved it but it isn't for me.

gringal Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Why should I need to "go there" etc. in order to hear from someone who is actually living there? I am guessing that at least one of them is reading this web board. From what I've been hearing so far, those who are in charge of La Pueblita paint a rosy picture which may not line up with reality. Also, I can't help but wonder why you seem so interested in the place. My interest is for the near future, when I may need a "care giving" facility for myself.

No one who lives there may be on this board. I am so interested because I have made up a list of places for seniors Lakeside. I like the concept & setting of this place but not the price. I could send you a list of places for seniors that I have collected-about 20 places.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 In that case, Cedros, I won't need to hear a report from a resident, will I? IMO, the price itself is enough of a turnoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timjwilson Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 I'm curious if those envisioning such need in their future might consider throwing in together, form a nonprofit, buy a nice property and build-convert the perfect facility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conceptually, it is a good idea. Problems I see are getting people to agree on location, conversion and all that is involved in such a project. Certainly, it would be less expensive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 For the price they want I can live in France and have really good food. I have a mother and an aunt in such a place and the prices are less in France and the food no doubt a whole lot better.The prices for Mexico are way too high. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebs comment on like-minded goals would be more of an obstacle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO a purpose built facility would be better than a conversion. There are probably enough seniors with money here to fund it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Better answer: age in place. It is still affordable here to hire home care workers and stay in the comfort of your own home. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gringal Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Question: What is the best way to find "home care workers" these days? I agree it's probably the best option of all. That, plus having a doctor who makes house calls when needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only drawback is if you die when living in your home is that relatives from the North will have to look after disposing of your things. That can be quite daunting for some.

It's the same thing to be done everywhere. when my mother died in Toronto,relatives came from Germany UK and Vancouver BC and things were disposed amongst them and those that lived closer. In any event, there is no difference in that respect, whether you croak in your own home or elsewhere. pedro kertesz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
