By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

They should also be able to refer you to someone who could discuss with you whether you'd be eligible for a Medicaid voucher, which would (at least in many states) make you eligible for additional in-home assistance.
Is your husband a veteran? If so he may also have access to some extra assistance.
Finally, are you on good terms with your kids? Are they aware you need help or just busy with their own lives? If you feel they would be willing to help out more, but just don't realize you need that help, I would be very specific. Ask them, for example, if there if each could accompany you or your husband to one dr's appointment a month. (Honestly, there were many times my mom, sister and I would all take my grandma to appointments, because when someone has complex medical issues, it really helps to have an extra set of ears listening to the dr.) Or ask if they could research help on the internet for you. Or if they could sit with your husband if you need to get out by yourself.
I hope you and your husband get some outside help! It sounds like you have way to much to do on your own!
I would make sure your legal papers were in order prior to the move, and selling your home. Will, POA, for medical as well as financial. You are under no obligation to leave your children anything. An inheritance is a GIFT. The money you and your husband saved, as well as ownership of the home belong to you and your husband, to use as you see fit.
I would contact an attorney to have all documents drawn up, as well as handle the sale of the home, estate sale, or however you choose to dispose of the excess furnishings etc. in your home.
My Dad's parents moved from a large farm they had owned to a small farmette at the edge of town, where my Grandmother could walk to the market, the bank, library, Town Hall square, etc. as she never learned to drive.... mind you, she was in her 60's at the time. And there were a dozen of relatives who lived not that far from her, so it worked out well. The Town had a small hospital, and there was also a nursing home. Once Grandma got older, the library would hand deliver books to her, and the grocery store would bring the groceries that she ordered.
Panic attacks can be rough, I know as I get them, too. My primary doctor now has me on a pill that helps takes the edge off... yikes, I should have done this years ago.
You need to get all the required legal documents in order, such as your Will, Power of Attorney, maybe a Trust. Do it while hubby has a clear mind and can make good choices.
