[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Find a CCRC near you. They have lots of social things planned all the time. My parent's biggest mistake was moving to CCRC too late. They were able to live in IL, but were sick/tired enough that they didn't go out and make friends.  [/quote]

My parents moved to MoCo at 79.  At first they were looking at condos but soon realized that a CCRC was the way to go.  Despite being the height of covid, they made friends.  My father who was fine when they moved, took a terrible turn.  Suddenly he needed skilled nursing and eventually passed away.  My mom is nearby and very happy to have friends who are in similar circumstances and easy activities to attend.  She is at Ingleside King Farm.  I will add that it is not a utopia.  There is definitely a transition getting used to having rules after being independent in your own home.[/quote]

PP, do you mind sharing about what types of rules? Wondering if this may be why MiL is resistant to make a change.[/quote]
