As residents age, it does get more difficult to maintain a whole house. In recent years, we have seen an increase in Independent and Assisted Living facilities in the area, which has helped. They seem to have no trouble filling them up. However there are very few Life Care/CCRC type places nearby. Perhaps instead of regular apartments here in TV, older residents would be better served with an alternate option to Freedom Pointe. A CCRC with villas with attached carports or garages, or at least apartments with balconies/patios and in unit w/d, would be nice IMO. Housekeeping, etc. would be covered. All I know is when the time comes, IF I would outlive my spouse, I would sell my house and move to a CCRC to know I'd be taken care of for the remainder of my days. Too many old people burden their kids with that overwhelming stress and responsibility.
