My husband and I are in our 80's and have no children. We are debating planning a move to be near siblings and their children, into a CCRC. But all our friends are here, our excellent gym is here, we know how to drive around in this area and we have a beautiful home with a lovely view. We just don't feel we want to give all of that up.

With Facetime and Zoom, we can see family and have phone visits that are more than just the phone. We plan to sit tight until we have some life changing diagnosis. Of course, if (when) one of us moves on, the remaining spouse may be more likely to make a move but maybe to an apartment right in this area which would be an easier adjustment than to move 200 miles away. And maybe the apartment is just the next step before a CCRC.

It is hard to make life plans when we don't know what the future holds.
