[quote=Anonymous] My MIL lives in a continuing care comunity. She moved there after FIL died. The benefit of it are peace of mind -- that she has care for all stages of her life. You may be able to help her out now, but at some point she will need more assistance and it can be stressful figuring out when that it and how to deal with it. The other big benefit of it is socialization -- there's lots of opportunity for that. She lives independently, but there is dinner every night in the dining room and it's nice to eat and socialize with others. She's also involved with several interest groups there -- book club, library committee, gardening club. MIL is very social so she enjoys that aspect. Most of her friends are very independent too -- they drive, volunteer, maintain their apts -- but it's nice to have the community. [/quote]
