Your present health is also a factor. If either is in compromised health, the Ass't Liv facility is a strong plus because you can "graduate" to added care if needed.

If not, I would be less inclined.

But the social activities and pool are a plus. Do you have friends and activities that you will miss if you move?

I am 77 and am going to stay put.

My long time friends are in compromised health -- both with heart conditions. They are moving out of state into a.l. facility with up-stage option. I will miss them.
