You are correct. I was thinking the same thing. You cannot wait until you get sick to make that move. It won't happen! My husband and I moved 4 months ago to be near my son and 4 granddaughters. We are in our 70s and were able to pack up and move several states away. Where we were before was because of our jobs but we're now retired.

I just want to add that if we had children we would likely be planning a move closer to them. But with no children, to make a move to be near siblings of similar age and a nephew and niece-in-law, seems maybe not the best thought. Moving to a CCRC seems so final. We do have a deposit on a CCRC which will place us towards the top of the waiting list but I fear we will be isolated trying to drive around a large unfamiliar city so the move to the CCRC will likely not happen until we feel we are OK being dependent on the transportation provided by the CCRC.

If only we had crystal balls to tell us what the future holds.
