Hello. @woot While I can’t really offer advice, I can relate what my mother thought of the outcome of her and my dad’s move to a retirement/graduated community. They were in their early ‘80s.

She was never happy there. They, too, bristled at all the rules, discovered it was not as ‘all-inclusive’ as advertised, and tremendously expensive for the ‘add-on services’ they each eventually required.

This was only their experience and their community. My mom frequently told me she wished they’d never left their home.

Strength, Courage, & Peace
