  2. It sounds like she found a fulfilling and impactful role in assisted living. The setup you described, with the residents having their own apartments and the freedom to live as independently as possible while receiving the help they need, seems like a great balance. It's wonderful to hear that the residents appreciated this arrangement and that your mom enjoyed building relationships with them. Assisted living can indeed provide a supportive and community-oriented environment, which can be more suitable for those who need some help but still want to maintain their independence. Your mom's dedication and care surely made a positive difference in the lives of many residents. Hello there, How's your day going?

  3.  @terryhenley8924  It sounds like you've been doing some serious thinking about your future living arrangements! Retirement homes can offer a great balance of independence and support. It's fantastic advice to shop around and find a place that feels like home. You're absolutely right about being cautious with sharing your financial details too early. Keeping that information private can give you a better chance to negotiate a fair deal. It's a good idea to ask about the services, amenities, and costs first, so you can make an informed decision without feeling pressured.
