[quote=Anonymous]If your mom is of the mindset that she should move into a senior community so she has the support of snd wgen she needs it, that’s really terrific and might save you so much potential stress down the road.

It sounds like she is very independent so wouldn’t be a candidate for assisted living, but she might be a good candidate for independent living, ideally part of a CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community). Tgesecounities allow people to age in place, as they have independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing care and rehab all on one campus. However, it is important to find a community where the independent living residents are active and on the younger side, like your mom.

It might still be early for all of this. You can keep an eye out for a CCRC that might fit the bill when your mom is a bit older, and pursue a retirement community like Leisure World instead. The benefit to this would be social interaction and plenty of activities - but of course it all depends on your mom’s interests, personality and preferences.

It might be worth touring some of these places with your mom. If she prefers to live in an apartment that’s not part of a senior community, it sounds like she’s more than capable of 
that. But her instinct to plan for the future is an excellent one.[/quote]
