Living together since Dad passed 2 yrs ago. House not right for us anymore. I get 55+ 'active', she gets elderly services, we both move along into different areas of care over upcoming years. i know it is very expensive to buy in, and expensive monthlies, but with good planning might be able to work. sound like a good idea or not?
You are only 52. Will there be people your age-ish?
I am 65 and would never want to live where the (very nice and sweet) people are with my mom. It is too old and quiet for me.
We rent an independent living apartment and pay a la carte for the few service my husband needs. We have a very active activity calendar and I enjoy volunteering to lead some new activities. Now we have a very active Wii bowling group with many 4 person sessions. The best part is I can leave him to enjoy an activity with friends while I go out and have lunch or do other activities outside with my younger friends. I know he is safe and others will call for help if needed while I am away.
Look around and check out options. This was the best move I ever made.
