Where do you want to grow old?

I currently live in a very active, over 55 community with 4000 homes of all types.
I have a single story condo, that has an HOA fee covering all outside stuff. I don’t have to worry about the garden, roof, paint etc.
There are no stairs anywhere in my condo. I have a walk-in shower with grab bars.
I am going to be 74 next month. I don’t know how that happened! lol
I live alone right now and that makes me happy. I dread having to change my living arrangements in the future.
Frankly, my son is not a caregiver. He has problems of his own. I don’t have the money for a residential home. So my future is not secure. It’s a bit scary.

Your son not being a caregiver is something many older people are faced with. Many of our children talk a good game but if their lives are so busy while your alive and healthy and they never have time for you now, think how it will be if you have to rely on them to be a caregiver ..

Your condo and community sounds awesome. Where is it? How did you find it? 🙂
