Would you ever move to those senior communities?

I'd rather not live in college dorm life for older people. I'm not paying high amounts of money to be told what to do or to eat unseasoned food. Yes there are perks such as activities and socialization but I can do that from my own home. My home,my rules and my freedom over some fancy community anyday.

I've never heard of a senior community that restricts your food or tells you what to do. That sounds more like what I would call a Nursing Home.

@4meAndyou I assumed it was a similar concept with the only true difference being independence levels.

@deepblacknothingness Nope. There are many senior communities where people just buy a property. There might be a clubhouse, or a pool, or pickleball, a store or even a restaurant on the grounds...but it's just like buying a house. No restrictions. If the people who live there need help, they hire it.
