Having your own house feels good, but it needs too much work especially during winter. The parents of my husband sold their house to him seven years ago because they can't keep up with the maintenance of keeping it especially that they are old already. Now they are living in the Housing For Seniors. Every now and then we visit them in their place and sometimes they just visit us in our house especially if they missed their old place.
In their new place now they had lesser worries because everything is already taking care of for them. They had an Assisted Living Facility and they can even have socialized with some people their age. Every Tuesday morning my mother-in-law play cards with her friends.
In our country we used to take care of our old parents, we shoulder all their needs, but in the United States they old people or the seniors was placed to a home for seniors. I feel awkward about the concept, but that is normal in here. It is hard for me to accept the concept of their living, but at the same time I admire the old people because they do ways to not be a baggage for their children. Going to an Independent Living Center helped a lot the seniors to stand in their own feet despite their age.
