anyone here live in senior only housing?

3. I'm 76, currently in a senior facility for about six months. It has both independent and assisted living.

I'm independent.

I like it a lot. No yard to fuss with. Don't need to cook, if I don't want. In fact, I only have a kitchenette (no stove, just two burner top, microwave, and fridge.) Every week there are various events: trips to local museums or sights, lunch out somewhere on Fridays, karaoke, stuff like that. It's up to me how much to do, how much time to spend alone or with others. Plus, of course, I do other things (like Trivia) unconnected to my living place.

I have two cats myself, and I'd say nearly half the residents have a cat or dog or two. Unless you have very large dogs, yours shouldn't be a problem.

It's been my observation over the years that most people put off this kind of move by two, three, four, or more years. Don't be that way. Yes, I understand you put in a lot of work to your place, and you will miss it dreadfully if you leave. But sometimes it is just time to move on.

In short, I really like it here. I'm in Santa Fe, and at dinner these days we mostly trash-talk Trump and all Republicans.
