It looks like we'll be going into a "retirement community" pretty soon...two of my kids took me to a Masonicare Communit [View all]

Home for a preliminary visit to see what they had to offer. It was very nice!

Hubby has been against it cuz he didn't want to leave our home of 30 years but my kids wanted me to at least LOOK...

Since my father had been a Mason we would get a small reduction (but not much) in our fee.

I liked the apartments. We would have a certain number of meals allotted per month and we could split them up as we choose.

We would have the company of other retirees and their amenities were quite nice. They had a gym, hair salon and barber, library, etc. All on one "campus."

They take you to doctor's appts. so you don't need a car. There was a nurse there and nearby docs that could be called and appts. made.

Lots to consider. Anyone here in one of these communities? I'd love to hear from you and what you think of them!
