We will close on a place in a CCRC next month. As mentioned, proceeds from out house will fund most of the entrance fees. We have no immediate family, so the move seems our best route. We do have LTC, which will come in handy.
My wife and I live in a 55+ community and have been here 7 years. This is the second 55+ community for me. I am not aware of any health requirements, but most 55+ communities that I know of advertise themselves as active adults. Now that we are in our mid-70’s, we have joined a CCRC waiting list. We will use proceeds from our house to pay the entrance fees. We both have LTC insurance and a healthy income. We don’t have family to care for us, and I would not want them to have to do so. We don’t foresee problems, but you never know. Life goes in its own direction
My wife and I are both 73. We added our name to a waiting list for a CCRC. We are hopping that the waiting time is not too long. We have been in an active adult community for about 10 years (Sun City), but feel the need and desire to be somewhere that offers levels of care
I like Connections and the mini-crossword. I think my longest connections streak is 6 or 7 days. My level at solving the puzzle runs at about 61%. But I do enjoy it. I like how the puzzle shows PHEW! when you solve it with no more mistakes left to make. I've just started the Spelling Bee the past couple of days.
