[quote=Anonymous]First off I must tell you how fortunate you are to have such a reasonable mother!! God bless her!

For us the parents who chose to age in place have been a nightmare. Only one downsized and at least that helps a smidge. the first few years may be fine, but eventually for us it was emergency after emergency with entitled and angry and lonely parents refusing to move. There is a whole industry playing into this, but what they fail to tell you is there are no-shows and meals that don't get delivered and it is so very isolating. The parent who willingly chose CC was a Godsend and much happier surrounded by new friends.

I applaud your mother for not wanting to make you life a living hell. I have been at this with parents and inlaws for gosh like 8 or 9 years and I will never do this to my own kids. I will be like your mom and willingly downsize and go to CC so I can truly enjoy my kids and perhaps grandkids if I am lucky and not take years off their life as I decline.[/quote]
