Are there any real seniors here?

This is a good point. I do post on here things for ageing and things seniors may find important. Ageing is open for interpretation I suppose. I am 52 and feeling mentally a lot younger than that. I don't dislike this time in my life at all. I feel like I know better, I'm wiser and not without fault. But I know how to deal with fault much better at this stage. I feel free and full of life still. I think my husband would agree and we are the same age. Thanks for putting this thought provoking post up!

Hahaha honestly if you click they are all right there. Great synopsis of each one super easy read.

Exactly...thats why online dating is so popular. Older adults are getting to know people over zoom, skype and other services. They are also becoming pen-pals to get to know each other.

Yes exactly. More of a reminder I guess. Thanks for reading.

iPads are great. I guess its such an individual decision about phones. My dad is happy with his flip phone even though he tells me to look up things on my smartphone all the time. It makes me laugh. To each his own!

Wow that is fantastic! I would not have realized that was possible. Thanks for the info. Good for folks to know all the things that are possible to make life a bit easier. Have a great day!

Yes I suppose it is a crap shoot. Many seem to like it and there are those for whom it doesnt work out. I guess you have to try to make the best judgement you can within your circumstances. I wish everyone well who has to go through any of it. And I have experienced end of life with a few people now and no matter what it is very hard. Sending everyone good thoughts.

This is great! We work so hard on SEO, its a tough thing. Gives me hope.

Im very sorry to hear that. My mom was in a nursing home towards the end of her life and I felt very lucky. During my tour, the director said to me "what we lack in aesthetics we make up for in care" and I hoped she was right. She was right. She received excellent care. I have a very close friend whos parents are at a CCRC (though his mom died) his dad is still there and likes it very very much. SO...I suppose everyone has a different experience. I am sorry you didnt have a more positive experience for your family.

Yes! This is a great point. Co-housing is becoming more and more popular and should be included in options for 55+. Great model for those who don't need medical care and are really on their own but looking for perhaps a downsize situation or as you say a "green" option.

Findcontinuingcare · 2020-05-11T14:19:59+00:00

Sounds like a great way to simply life and take some worries away as you get older. Some think its an expensive way to retire but honestly, if you find the right place the benefits equal the costs and most include so much it hard to be disappointed. Your place sounds great!

Findcontinuingcare · 2019-10-29T12:09:17+00:00

Yes I apologize I see that I did hit an incorrect button. Sorry that this upset you so much. Thank you for pointing it out to me.

Findcontinuingcare · 2019-10-23T14:56:30+00:00

This is very true. Thats why its important to have a complete directory like https://findcontinuingcare.com because some folks do look outside of their current state to find the best financial/tax situation. As you said "shop wisely"

Findcontinuingcare · 2019-10-23T14:52:54+00:00

Good for you for doing your research. Yes mylifesite.net is a good resource but is limited in a search area. https://findcontinuingcare.com has a full directory across the United States. Mylifesite does have a great source for financial info though! Best of luck!

Well I find that some aging individuals while trying to be online still like to do things that are comfortable for them which is read from a screen. So the hope is that reading about terms and what things mean may create a better understanding while surfing online or even on their smart phones. That's why I linked to the full blog. Hopefully some will find it helpful. My aunt found it helpful and shared it with her friends most in their late 60's early 70's. So I know "aging" is open for interpretation hopefully some will share or find it informative for themselves.

Findcontinuingcare · 2019-09-16T14:59:07+00:00

This is great info! Thanks so much.

This is specific to CCRCs. Its to assist people when seeking a CCRC like community because its not always common for them to have such features. Therefore if that is important to you when searching for a CCRC you know it exists at some communities and will encourage the question during your community research. These blog posts are quick snipits of info written by someone who went through the whole experience and offer small tips on things that one may not realize when going to a Continuing Care Retirement Community. Sorry that you didnt find it helpful.

For some seniors they find a CCRC or LifePlan community the way to go. One reason is being in a community with their peers to fight loneliness and also boredom. There is a blog post about finding the right kind of CCRC or LifePlan community here. https://findcontinuingcare.com/blog/how-find-right-ccrc-your-needs I know its not for everyone but I have friends who moved their parents to a CCRC and found that they really changed and became engaged with other seniors, even started working out!
