[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think someone in her early seventies who is in good health is not a good candidate for a continuing care community yet. Although the advertising brochures show very youthful looking old people as residents, the reality often is that most of the residents are physically and/or mentally challenged. A relative of mine moved into an independent living apt in a continuing care community as a very peppy 85 year old and still felt that many of the residents had given up on life.[/quote] I think it really depends on the community. People tend to self-sort -- a community with active 70s is going to attract more, a community with 80 yos will not attract 70 yos. I wouldn't say the residents in my MIL's CCRC had given up on life. They are really active! But definitely you will want to visit and check it out before deciding to move in. [/quote]
