The benefits of living in a retirement home
Don't knock it 'til you've tried it! Many people have outdated ideas about "moving into an old folks' home." Not all retirement homes are alike, and many Paris retirement communities offer all the best that life has to give. Sometimes, people go into a care home to just check it out or to take a respite care stay and they are surprised at what they find, and surprised by what they can afford.
As one Paris area retirement home manager has told Comfort Life, people choose on their own to move into a retirement home, for a variety of reasons. "We might have a couple where one spouse requires long term care, while the other is still very much independent and capable. However, that person may not like traveling all the time or may be tired of planning meals every day. In other cases, we have people move in here for the social aspect. It's much easier for them here than it is living at home alone. They just open the door and there's someone to talk to, and almost always something going on in the community."
