Most seniors, after they have made a decision to relocate to a retirement community, want to remain happy and content and be supported by affirmations as to the wisdom of their choice. They want to obtain and retain a positive outlook on life and enjoy it as best they can. They really do not want to hear the downside(s) or dwell on criticisms (valid or not) but delight in receiving comments on the merits of their selection and bask in the rewards during their golden years most have worked hard for a lifetime to achieve.

The success of The Villages speaks for itself with now over 100,000 residents, most of whom appear to be quite happy. Obviously there are those who are most happy when they are grumbling, griping and fault finding but thankfully they are few in number.
