Rob, Crescent City Womans Club started an aging in place project. There are many couples and m m/f widowers choosing to remain at home. At one time therewas a city infrastructure. It included daily chexk in phone calls and lunches to get together and socialize. Churches had volunteer drivers for drs. Appts, etc. All this has settled into neighbors caring for neighbors and churches caring for their members. I built my home with aging in mind. Been in Cc 34 yrs. And in my home 31 yrs. I didnt figure in climbing stairs, the house is raised, so keeping the legs working is all in the self care schedule. Randy is here for awhile and takes care of the yard, we are planting food producing trees hoping to have a food forest in full bloom soon. I am beginning to explore, as are you and others, how to physically live fully when the body wears out big time. Aging in Place has many positive attributes. Walk in Peace💛🧘🧡 On Tue, Apr 8, 2025, 12:29 PM Robertson Work via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:
Dear colleagues,
How are you aging? Bonnie and I are considering options of aging in place where we are, or downsizing and then aging in place, or moving into a senior community. What have you done? How do you find it? Any lessons or advice to give? What are you planning to do?
Best wishes,
Rob
