My wife and I moved to a CCRC 4 years ago. We love it. Life is simple compared to owning a house. Our children don't worry about us. We have an active social life and daily exercises classes. My wife's parents lived in the same CCRC and we saw how they thrived. They made it to 95 and 98. A friend in a different CCRC said to me "move before you have to."
I am 78.I liv in a CCRC and love it. I have an apartment, but access to a heated swimming pool, a game room, movie night, a dining room, etc. These spaces are far larger than any house I owned. I just got back from South Africa and have plans to visit Alaska again, and Australia. I volunteer at several places including an elementary school. My point is -- I have not slowed down yet.
