Thanks for your opinions and please know they mean a lot to me. I went there today and had lunch with six of the ladies. They were so nice. I really liked all !  There is a step up to assisted living and more including memory care should you need any of those things. There is also rehab like if I get my other hip done. It’s really beautiful. SO many activities and such friendly people. It feels like home. D#1 and the duck are both encouraging me to do it but it is ultimately my decision.  Again thanks for your opinions. I value them all.

    Dear Bee,

    do it, you need more confort and help, the most important is some autonomy and privacy, the activieties are very rich, and I believe all are included!
    I think, you may choose the best for you and for your children!
    Big hugs, honey!

    My step-mother lived in a nice place like the one you describe and the monthly fee was right around $3500. I think the "buy-in" was $250,000, but that was 10 years ago. She loved it and seemed to stop aging when she lived there. All the people and social activities kept her young.

    It sounds like you're going to do this. It will be good to have more help. We all get there and there is nothing wrong with being in a safe place. You'll do what is right for you. You always do.

    Have a fabulous day, Empress Bee. Big hug to you and my very best to Roche. ♥♥♥

    The more I thought about it Bee, I thought it might be great for you. You will no longer be lonely and even when you have operations, the is a rehab. Now that is a plus to me. $350K sounds large but 90% return sounds OK. As I wrote yesterday, Go For IT Bee.
    Just remember that in the future that we will still need to arrange a cruise together. See ya my friend.

    We are 65 and watch commercials for these types of places, as we will be looking sooner rather than later. I think you are so fortunate that you and your husband worked your butts off your entire life and sacrificed so you could invest wisely so you can afford to do this. And that your kids prefer that you spend your money on yourself rather than leave it to them. It sounds like you've made up your mind, but from one old lady to another, woohoo! Sounds perfect.
    But I'm still hoping to run into you on a cruise!

    This is a big move. I like that you are really thinking about it. Even though my son moved in to help care for me I think that I will have to make a choice like you thinking about soon.
    Daughter is also moving back.
    It seems like you will be doing the same fun things you are doing now but it will all be included.
    I think go and walk around this place at different times of the day. See how it feels.

    Hugs !
    cheers, parsnip

    Dear Bee,
    The idea have having peace of mind and security makes me think this is a comforting move for you. No matter what, the facility will be there always to take care of your needs. Good luck and let us know how it works out.

    It will be nice to be around people and share meals, for sure. I live alone so I know how lonely that can be. For things like rehab, will there be extra costs? Do they take your insurance? Just be sure you ask 1001 questions up front. I know you will make the best decision.

    Dear Bee,
    Worth every penny if you love it and they will take great care of you, and there will be nice people to do things with. Anonymous asked great questions. It can be reassuring to know you are going to be very well taken care of. Your money is for YOU, and you deserve the best with it.
    Love you, Bee.

    My Dad (94 yo) moved into independent senior living last September. He says it's the best thing he's ever done! He said had he realized how nice it would be he'd have made the move years ago. Good luck with your choice, do what is best for you and what you are most comfortable with.

    Bee, I just read this post and the previous one. It sounds like a wonderful place...everything one could want. Plus the care when you need it...if you need it. You have been in my thoughts for months. I enjoy reading your posts and I hope you continue to blog. You are loved. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
