[quote=Anonymous]My MIL sold her house and moved to a 55+ plus community in Florida before DH and I were married - she was widowed, her only living child (DH) had a very demanding career, and she wanted to build a community and stay busy. She volunteered, went to temple, played tennis and cards, did aquafit and walking groups - she really built a community. She also had the support she needed to be able to continue living there as she aged - drives to appointments, a housekeeper etc, no need to worry about outdoor maintenance or snow removal. We are so grateful she did this - she is very elderly now and lives in a nursing home, and she still has friends and a community, as well as of course frequent visits from us. I think if she would have stayed alone in her big old house in Connecticut things would have been much harder on everyone. [/quote]
