I appreciate the suggestion, but I'm (hopefully!) a few decades away from needing an independent or assisted living facility, and who knows how much Freedom Pointe will be charging then, and/or what their reputation will be then.
But even if a solo ager were to move into Freedom Pointe (or similar facility) that still only solves half the problem. Sure, the staff there will take care of a person's basic physical needs, but they won't help with paying bills, managing investments, managing health care amongst a variety of doctors, being a health care advocate for the resident, etc..
There are still a ton of problems / issues that need to be managed that fall outside of the services provided by the staff at any independent/assisted living facility or nursing home.
