[quote=Anonymous]Oh - also meant to add: my mom moved in at 84, which Brightview said was actually the median age for their new residents. So residents are quite elderly but may move in at a younger age if needed. It's also about 85-90% women. Many move in because of a decline in their health (losing ability to maintain a house) or becoming widowed. There are also many couples where one person needs more support but the spouse can't manage everything any longer. In terms of the huge differences between the amount of women and men, it's partly longer lifespans for women but perhaps also all the social supports and activities appeal more to women. [/quote]
