Message:: [QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 4577197, member: 602"][USER=29]@Ownedbybear[/USER], we're seriously looking at a Lovely 2 BR Senior Housing Community which has EVERYTHING from 'soup to nuts'.... can have 2 cars (but no garages) and pets!  I mean...go in healthy as a horse, and if you progress to end of life care needed, you can have Hospice in....it's ALL there!  As well as SO MANY activities available included...you name it...I think it's there!!  Our house is getting too much for us.....it's technically a 3 BR ranch, but one we use as a computer room....we're on a cul-de-sac, been here 35 years and the oldest ones on it, and just have too much stuff that we've collected over the years as well as from our parents!  Partially finished basement level to add up to a total of 1600 or 1800 sq ft. But what's down there is mostly "excess STUFF"!!  DH is 84 and I'm not too far behind.....the one thing the SR housing DOESN'T offer is storage space (and I don't blame them...we NEED to ELIMINATE STUFF!!!) That's the "downsizing" of which I speak before we can get into the Senior Housing....I believe the 2-BRs are just under 1200 sq ft!  PLUS, I'm not sure we can do a 'Spring date' which they suggest they now might have....that we can always put off......a bit!!!!!  PHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!![/QUOTE]
