[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

We will be staying.  We are mid sixties, and healthy, however we know older people become unhealthy. Having said that,  many of my neighbors either broke their legs, had cancer or developed autoimmune issues in their  30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, etc., so age doesn't immediately mean near  death. 
Our house isn't large, it's a smallish SFH with a small yard. 
We have 3 dogs, so condo living isn't going to be a thing. 
We aren't hoarding stuff. We purge often. We walk everyday  and have friends here, all ages. When my inlaws and parents declined in late 80s, we of course moved them. Look, we were overseas at one point and didn't even pack our own stufff, but we moved several times since then and know how to. 
We are not in denial, we didn't raise our kids here,  we don't love stuff. 
I think moving is personal due to circumstances,  but, no, there isn't any real reason to but ourselves in some over 55 box because there are those opportunities. No one there is 55, anyway. They are older.  A CCRC is not at all appropriate  at our age. 
Thanks! Good luck to all. [/quote]
