What Is Life Really Like in a Retirement Community - Hear from my mother




Transition Aging Parents show

Summary: Join me and my mother as she shares an insider's view of independent living in a CCRC, Continuing Care Retirement Community. Two years ago, Mom was living alone in her home in western Maryland. A health crisis in March 2008 got her thinking about other living options. She chose a CCRC just 5 miles from her home, within her community of 30 years. She'll share why she chose Fairhaven, surprises and challenges along the way, and how she adjusted. Now, 18 months later, she'll talk about how she feels about her decision and choice. Call-in questions are most welcome.
