I read these comments with interest and thought how fortunate some folks have options. Unfortunately, many of us don’t. I don’t have the money for senior communities or options I would enjoy. I am alone. Bless those of you who are enjoying this stage of your life-

It is difficult and frightening. My elderly aunt found an apartment building where she made friends with several neighbors of varying ages and lifestyles. Though she had no children and her husband was deceased, she maintained contact with elderly sisters-in-law who were in similar situations and many relations. She spread her need requests carefully so that people were glad to see her and didn't feel burdened. She was able to live in her home until the last week of her life.
Those of us who don't have relatives nearby need to think carefully about developing a range of supportive friendships. What options are available?
