Should I sell ? Where would I go? Should I repaint/carpet?
Husband 75 yrs. Alzheimer's. No long term care insurance. ONLY income SS. I'M 70 this year. Kidney disease. But much equity in home. Low interest HUD loan but townhouse association dues is expensive now. 26 yr old house. Needs bedrooms re- carpeting. 6k+. No neutral wall colors-Need to be large paint job. Paint job. Partial is about $10,000 minimum. More than that to get neutral colors which we don't want to live with. Our youngest adult child has epilepsy since he was a young child, and other severe diseases, and at 39 years old cannot move out, and we typically have at least one grandchild with us almost full-time. Therefore we cannot downsized any type of senior living, assisted or otherwise. We have talked with many elder care attorneys but it's time to call again and talk to us quite a few realtors and many financial planners and everybody has told us that we can't afford to live here but we can't afford to live anywhere else and we would get about half the space for far more money due to interest rates and also large moving costs. We have to make a decision now and even though we're in debt to get the carpet done because it's unmanageable and some of the paint and don't know how to proceed. No appreciable savings. Lost everything in a corporate take over years ago

Does a swimming pool add value to a house?
We'd really like to get an in-ground pool, ideally with an outdoor kitchen too. We live in Wisconsin, so we could only get use out of it for part of the year. Does the pool add value to our home? Or do people see it as something else to care for and that would turn them away from the house?
