[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.. Thanks for your thoughts. I was so excited about the Falls Church Sunrise bc it is literally down the street, we drive past it every day. He could even walk to our house. I just had this vision of how it would all work out.

But I think he's a tad too active for that level of care just now. I'm convinced by your responses. We'll likely do a local apt or condo for him, and move him to sunrise in a few years. [/quote]

OP, don't give up on finding a good retirement community before you have toured and spoken with a bunch. They are all so different, and a true continuing care retirement community will be perfect for what you are describing. I am not local anymore so I can't help with specific names, but the one I have a LO at has patio type homes with garages for the young and healthy  all the way up to a nursing unit. Tons and tons of outings, activities, groups, it's like a cruise shop for old people. 
I'm wondering if he would be too isolated and not have much social interaction in an apartment. Days can be really long while everyone is at work [/quote]
