Not sure what to do for my brother. [View all]

He is 73 and has severe COPD. He is still able to manage his meds, and functions well but I know he needs to be moved and he doesn't have a lot of money. I would like to know how much people are paying for a managed care, or senior housing with meals. Getting him to agree on making a decision is hard because he is in denial. He thinks he can heal himself to a degree that is not possible. My house is extremely small and I tried to get him to buy a house with me so I could manage his care when the time comes. He doesn't want to, which is fine, I am just afraid he is a fall from being an invalid and then it really becomes an issue. I am the baby sister, he is my eldest brother. Thanks in advance.
