AMN - you nailed that so well, LOL! Fodder over Bingo...:Talkativ e:


Both my mom and MIL live in retirement villages. They are geared toward low income, and that may work against you now Weeble, but it would work for you later ( when you retire).

They adjust your rent for medical expenses - Mom's facility even allows non-prescription meds as a deductible.

I can't speak for MIL's facility, maybe because she does not prefer to be as involved we don't hear about any activities, or perhaps they don't have as many. But at my Mom's, they are always going somewhere. I hear about Mom's because she is the secretary and I type her minutes (scary thought!).

They take a trip every month or have an outing - Mud Hens ballgame or Eirie Street Market in the summer - and probably two onsite things a week . There's monthly Gv't food delivery, a bus you call 24 hrs in advance if you need a ride anywhere - used to be a buck, I think it's 2 now - monthly Bday brunch, holiday parties, etc.

All the outings are very low cost. I think the ballgame was $5, for a ride, ticket, hotdog and drink.

My mom is never home.
