Could you do senior assisted living in a complex. It's not the same as a retirement home, it's more like a small apartment in a group. I think there are agencies that will come to your house and help out with daily things. My sister used to do it for clients.Hope this does not bore you but it is a different day for me...a day of decision.
Today….
I have an appointment to tour a senior retirement residence. A friend is accompanying me and of course lunch is included in tour. It is not what I want to do as these homes are ridiculously priced and the style of living does not really appeal to me but I have to give it a shot.
I and my neighbours have been and still are going through h*ll with noise and disruption due to building renovations and still more to come. That and the fact that my old vinyl floor is bumpy here and there and I have stumbled a few times. If I complain to management they have the right to evict me to replace the floor so mums the word and care in walking. I would have to move out completely and find another apartment. Duh!
Also, lately I have been feeling that ‘keeping house’ and light cooking is beginning to tire me more and of course I still have all the body problems which at my age will never get any better. Cleaning lady not needed every day but would be nice to have my meals prepared for me etc., etc., Some of you nearing my age know what I mean.
A daily lady would be nice for general work
So, I looked at my savings and realized that I should be spending them to make my life easier rather than have them sitting there …for what.
That is the question I asked myself - For What??.
I need to spend it now to make my life more comfortable
Not enough of them to last me indefinitely in a residence but maybe for a couple of years depending on cost.
Of course, I could pop my clogs anytime but there is no guarantee on that. If I live beyond it will have to be Govt. old age home.
More duhs !!!
Well, I am still mulling over this brain storm but after visit and some more thought plus friend’s viewpoint ( she is nearing the same stage in her life) and perhaps some forum friends I hopefully will get it settled one way or another.
Will keep you posted on my thoughts…may be useful for others eh!

Yes we have those seniors only apartments with daily help but try and get in to one of those.Could you do senior assisted living in a complex.

Yes that is ideal but there is no such thing available.[
I want a place where I can have a nice little apartment and they are dining facilities available as needed, Take your time and find the right place for you.
Be really careful on that floor. Also think about the type of shoe you wear in the house. Some are prone to stub against any little thing. Of course you may be like me, I don't wear shoes in the house. The doctor even fusses about that. LOL
We are all very glad to hear that.you're a peach!..how sweet and wonderful you are!
yes...i am slowly moving forward.
Hotels here often have old people as long term residents. it suits the resident, because they basically have everything done for the. Housekeeping, and cooking..and help at the end of a room phone..Yes that is ideal but there is no such thing available.
I would like to lodge in a hotel. ..perfect!...but hotels don't want old seniors on a long term booking.
I have nerve damage so never walk barefoot.
Wasn't it noticed when you were off sick ?I'm in a snit. An 8-cylinder 2023 Snit!
TL has been doing things that create more work for me. I'm trying to be charitable because she's only been there 6-8 weeks, but geez! She's been with the company for 23 years. 23. And I don't give a rat's rear how it was done in Dallas. We're not in Dallas. Also being very careful to not throw her under the bus, but the stuff she DOESN'T do make it appear that I'm not doing MY job.
Deliver me. I don't wanna quit because I like my job and because I'm at a place now where the paycheck is all mine. Whoever heard of "extra" money? LOL I like extra money, yanno for buying a lamp and stuff

No because Sir and I were both out sick so anything that didn't get done went unnoticed or ignored due to the circumstances.Wasn't it noticed when you were off sick ?
Tell us about kitty adoption adventuresMaybe I can bother someone other than myself today. It's a goal!
Thanks! We like simple meals in-line with energy spent during the day. Hot weather makes us feel dry, so salty foods such as fish pie and as it's summer weather always go crazy with the fruits. Combining dairy for extra calcium, smoothies are a simple yet great wee dessert.Your menus are making me salivate! Sounds yummy.![]()
None so far today. I'm resting since yesterday. Don't like this online stuff or the cost. Just giving myself a well deserved break.Tell us about kitty adoption adventures![]()

Happened to me once. I called my bank, for a a service manager, and he gave me the explanation. In my case, I'd made an online purchase (which, by the way, worked out fine) from someone in a Third-World country. The online-banking system's oversight IT people had flagged the e-transfer, concerned that my account had been hacked. Once I reassured the service manager, informing what the situation was, he quickly got everything cleared up & back to normal.Today I am freaking out......cannot gain access to my online
bank acc'ts....!!! Even got ahold of a i.t. assistant and he could
not get me online with my accounts.....why me Lord?????
