[QUOTE="SaskiaKC, post: 2149886, member: 487111"] There are luxury ones here too, such as you describe. Sometimes when I am looking up government-subsidized senior communities (the ones based on income, no matter how low), I will see an entry for a community that features a swimming pool, or dishwashers in each apartment. Right then, I know that that is a luxury community! And those places cost a fortune! I've only known of a couple of people who retired to such a community. The retirees I know who could afford something like that have all stayed in their own homes. I can't understand why anyone who owns their own home and can afford to keep it up would have any desire to move into an apartment "community" boxed in with a bunch of others. I am sorry your daughter was wanting you to move into one. I have known women my age and older who were basically moved into senior housing by their kids and I can't imagine what that must be like. Some say it is out of "love," but I wonder. I am grateful not to have any children. The KittenCat is a wonderful "dependent" and even though she does boss me around sometimes, she can't take over. ^. .^ [/QUOTE]
