[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d save for a nice over 55 community with various levels of care. I had relatives in a nice one and it was so great—library, shuttle to doctors/mall, movie theater on premises, game room, dining room, activities, staff to help you change lightbulbs. Short of that, a faith community, or sometimes chosen family. Like if you had a younger neighbor or colleague that yiu help when they are in the sandwich crush, they may be grateful and help you when you are old. There are people like that but you can’t really count on it.[/quote] I agree that this is the only solution to building a support network (no guarantee) other than joining a church (no guarantee). This is the problem that millions of childless people are facing in old age, so you are not alone. I know many people who are left standing alone, when spouse and parents die off. Build a support network while you are healthy. There are others like you - find them.[/quote]
