It is also a huge task to downsize both emotionally and physically. What kind of support do you have from family in the area that you are living M.Hartman? Have you talked with them about your thoughts of moving? I would think that it is a wise thing to have those discussions now. Moving does not get any easier in the future. And the benefits of moving into senior housing now is that you can build relationships with the people who live there with you now while you are still energetic rather than moving into one when your mobility is reduced and your health more restrictive. I would encourage you to talk these things through with your family and not be intimidated by the enormity of the change. If this is the right time to make such a move you will do well in whatever situation you go to.

I am finding it difficult to make the move because of friends and family where I now live. Maybe I will downsize and stay here. At 76 I am weary of driving the tractor and mowing along with keeping the house in good condition. I am in the process of downsizing now and also thinking about moving.
