once my parents came to visit from another city. they both got the flu at the same time. I was a single mom then running a business. That was a real eye opener of an experience. a few years later they wanted to move here and were looking for a house. I was thinking how am I going to take care of my child, run a business and do their grocery shopping? Then, good luck! they found a place in a retirement home that had just been built. they bought in early for a low entry fee. they chose not to buy the unit. their monthly fees are $2,300 for 10 meals a month, janitorial 2x’s a week (that’s not enough), and occasional rides to doctor visits when the building can schedule them in.
I just bought a foreclosure with a seperate guest house (no kitchen). My daughter lives there during college. I figure if one parent passes and the other does not want to live alone they have a place.
