2. My aunt and uncle moved into an assisted living place

when they were about 70. Neither of them needed day to day assistance at the time but things like keeping up the house and yard were getting to be too much. The place is all inclusive. They have a tiny kitchen in their apartment, but most if the time they eat in the cafeteria, which is really more like a restaurant. Once they got settled in and started making some friends they wondered why they hadn't moved earlier. I'm sure it's not cheap, but they were retired public school principals so it can't be all that expensive.

It's interesting that your neighbor said you wouldn't fit in. Was this a neighbor you liked? LOL
