Beginning a century or so ago you could move into a retirement community for as long as you could stand it (or stand up), then would be whisked away to an old age home. Now there are choices. So many choices you could have a multiple strokes just thinking about them. There’s staying put (aka aging in place ) where you don’t go anywhere and you’re taken care of by people or robots.
