There are some things to consider.

My mom is now moving into a Senior housing center, for the disabled, and elderly. She was able to provide a letter from her MD that stated she did exercises at home, and needed equipment. (she is post polio syndrome) Because of that, she got a TWO bedroom apartment, for the same price as the ONE bedroom. It seems the one bedroom spots go quickly, and they tend to have less of a wait for the two bedroom ones. She is moving this week, so I dont know how it is for her but...

my DH aunt moved into a local place, and WOW the people on both sides of her smoke like freight trains! Her place stinks! the hall stinks. you can smell it seep under the sink where the plumbing comes through and in the potty under the sink where the plumbing comes through. She is not a smoker, and it pretty upset about all of her nice clothes and stuff now stinking. The management says unless those neighbors were on O2, its a free country, and they can smoke in their place if they want.

Most places offer a noon or dinner time meal in the communtiy center that is included in the rental. The good thing is that the rent is typically 30% of your income. You will have to pay for phone and cable usually. There are rides to and from most medical, and shopping places.

As with anything else in this life, it has good points, and bad points. I hope you are able to find a good one.
