I can't imagine that either. I really hope I die before I get to the point where I can't live alone. My husband and I do have long term care insurance for ourselves, which does provide some home health care.

The funny thing is that my mother is an extrovert. From that standpoint she'd love to have a captive audience. However, she also cannot tolerate the slightest infringement on her will, so she would also hate assisted living, for completely different reasons than I would.

I really do sympathize with that, and my goal was to help her achieve her goal, without putting herself in jeopardy. But I can't force it on her, and it's doing neither of us any good to continue on. If at some point she changes her mind, I'll worry about it then.
