So, yesterday Julie and I went to visit a place in Batavia, NY called Washington Towers. It is a senior apartment building. I filled out an application yesterday when we got to Julies place, then she scanned it and sent it right back to them. I guess they lost several residents due to Covid;;they did not pass away, but some moved in with family or to nursing homes. Thus little wait,

Rent is 30% of my net income. There are appliances in apartment . There is a secure entrance, so I have to buzz people in when they visit. I will share more info when I get it.
 

Marie,

It will be nice to spend the holidays surrounded by people.

The shopping bus service will be particularly nice when the weather gets bad and it will be a big load off of your mind not to have to worry about snow removal, trash, yard work, etc...

The hardest part will be the sifting and sorting to decide what stays and what goes!

Sounds like the beginning of a very exciting time!

This is great news Maria and 30% of your income sounds quite reasonable. Security sounds good too. I’m so happy for you. Just the social aspect alone is worth it. You’ll have lots of friends close by.
 
@Aunt Bea I have already been sorting out stuff. My cousin was here today to mow my lawn. He helped me bring alot of stuff out of the house and to the street as tomorrow is trash day.
The Batavia office of the aging is across street. They help with transport and stuff as appt does not.
@debodun my niece wants me to get Meals on Wheel. Is there criteria I need to meet?
 
@Marie5656
Congratulations! :)

Just a small thing for you to do sometime....You could look at typical menu's for the MOW meals,
(I think they would be posted someplace online)
to be certain you can eat and digest the foods they usually bring. And that the cost is actually lower for you, than what you would eat, instead.

Your new place will be closer to your niece, right?
I think that's the best part, and could prove so valuable in the future.

Depends on where you live but they do charge for it in my area. They do not charge where my mother lives. I think it’s income based.
 
Here there is a charge. If I remember correctly, it's $2 for a single meal. Some clients get double meals (lunch and dinner trays), so the cost doubles for them. So for a week - a client receiving single meals would have to pay $10, and $20 if they get doubles. That includes a tray that look a lot like a TV dinner, a half-pint of low fat milk and a desert (most of the time that's canned fruit in a plastic cup).
