[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of Kendal communities are in college towns, and the intellectual and cultural opportunities are really nice for the active elderly. The problem comes when people's health starts declining and the small college town doesn't have the sorts of advanced medical care they need. CCRCs will provide transportation to cities that are a considerable drive, but it's not as convenient as having your doctors be local. I would be careful about the lack of protections provided to the elderly by conservative governments; you may think you'll never fall prey to sleazeballs who put you under a guardianship, but you might. Higher taxes are buying you a more ethical government.[/quote] There's a Kendall community right here outside of DC. My parents moved there exactly b/c of the issue PP mentioned - in their small town retirement life there wasn't specialized health care available that they need as they age. [/quote]
