I'll Be Moving To A Retirement Facility With Assisted Living

I have made a decision today that I will do this within the next three months or as soon as I have my Cochlear Implant.
I now have a two bed two bath, balcony, apartment with full kitchen, washer and dryer and will be moving to a first class facility where I will have a one bedroom one full bath, kitchenette. In cluded will be three full daily meals in their dining room or delivered to my apartment, daily and weekly house keeping. free cable and wi fi. The amenities are outstanding and my Long Term Care Policy will pay the bulk of my monthly charges after a 90 day elimination period. It's become a real chore for me to continue cooking for my self and doing other chores. Time for some assistance.
 

Good to hear. imho, it's better to go too early than too late. God Bless.
 

That's a big decision! I know a half doz people who have made the same decision in the last few years, and all of them love where they are, socializing, field trips, and nice conversations with interesting people, along with delicious, healthy meals. Good for you, Lon!
 
It sounds like you have made a choice that you are happy with, Lon, and from the way you are describing the apartment, it sounds like it will be a great place to live.
Since you will have a kitchenette, you can make snacks , coffee, and anything else you might want to have to eat besides whatever they give you for meals; but when you don't want to make meals, you don't have to worry about it.
You will have company when you feel like socializing, and your own apartment that you can retreat to when you don't want to socialize.
Do they have a swimming pool or fitness center where you can exercise if you want to do that ?

Sounds like a plan, Lon. I stayed in one for a couple of months after some surgery. The meals, field trips and conversation groups were wonderful. When I was able to live by myself I moved back home. If I could afford it I would go back there as my 2bedroom, 2 bath is getting too much for me to care for also. I think you will be happy there.

WoW, sounds wonderful Lon. I know you love the apartment you're in now , but this definitely sounds like a wonderful place to live...hope you're very happy there..
 
I think that it is a wise choice to put your feet up and leave the day to day chores to other people!

I will be looking forward to reports on the move and your new cruise ship lifestyle.

Good luck!!!

Looking forward to hearing how your cochlear implant go's its changing people's life's for the better ,I see allot of people with them ,I'm interested to know how they are actually attached to your head ,when you shower ,do you have to,cover them with shower cap ...tell me to mind my business if I'm overstepping the line Lon, my job in my working life was caring for people with disabilities and I'm always interested in improvements to,make their lives more enjoyable / easier

Modern Implants can be worn in the shower or pool.Other than the implant surgically inserted behind my ear the only other equipment is the KANSO sound receiver and processor attached under my hair on the side of my head about the size of a half dollar.
