[quote=Anonymous]My parents downsized to a townhome when they moved to Virginia from a lower cost of living location. It seemed perfect at the time when they were in their mid-60s. They are now 75 and regret the choice or at least the layout of their unit. They talk constantly about wanting a house that is all or mostly one level. I can pay someone to clean, do laundry up and down the lower level steps, but it’s just depressing to have 1800 sq ft and be limited to living in just one level. They have 10 steps from the street into their unit and at some point that will also be an issue if one or both is in a wheelchair. I think when they moved in they thought “oh the formal dining room can be a bedroom” which is technically correct - but now they are watching friends age and realizing it won’t be just one of them in the front room in a hospital bed for 6 months - but it could be both of them for 5-10 years.
