@rosemarya My parents moved into an independent living facility 20+ years ago Nd, according to them, it’s the best decision they ever made. My father died 12 years ago and mom was able to go see him everyday. They took all their ‘special’ furniture, etc. with them. Now, she thinks all of us are wanting to take it (but we have other plans).She is there today and fees that she is very well taken care of. My siblings and I like the home, also. My husband and I plan to move to a similar place (when the dog dies) 🤗. Everyone is so different and, luckily, we have lots of options. One sister is looking into a “golden girls” arrangement with some of her friends. There is also Sage housing and Co-housing (not attractive to me). Not really a fun subject to think about.

@becsbuddy, Your post triggered a wonderful memory. Four very close friends who often traveled together took a fun trip to a central TX town where we learned that this highly pop. German community of farmers would buy houses in town for their wagon loads of provisional purchases. We decided "when the time came" we "golden girls" would purchase a "communal home" and move there to enjoy the quaint location together. Life had different plans in store for us but I remember so fondly those wonderful shared experiences. Thank you for your post and yes, we are so fortunate to have options for when and where we'll choose to move.
