but, I would first check out any social service agencies in your city or state. See if they or Legal Aid can direct you to either a lawyer or someone who specializes in this area. It can be very confusing to find a lawyer, if you don't know exactly who or what you are looking for. You will also need someone to assist in your finances, to help you make the decisions you need to make.

Going into assisted living may be the best route, as you could live in an apartment and not have to worry about maintaining a house. It is something only you can decide if you would like. Many places have communal eating so you would not have to cook or eat alone. There are activities that you can do with others, or maybe take a travel tour while you are still healthy.

You also need to get to a doctor who specializes in eldercare. You may not have Alzheimer's, but you have to find out. There are other things that can cause memory loss.

Mostly, swing for the bleachers, do things that you always wanted to do, but put off. In other words, make the best of the time you have left. Hell, you could easily last another 20 years, in relatively good health. At least that's what I would want for you.
