Neither of those anecdotal observations are related in any way.

I'm sure there is an excellent explanation for "Villagers move 3 times in their old age within the same real estate development". But I think you need to be either a real estate salesman or a pharmaceutical salesman to understand it. Or maybe a used car salesman.
I also live in village were nearly all brought originally 20 years go. Out of 84 maybe 15 moved elsewhere in villages. Probably 50% had spouse die and moved somewhere. Out that 50 % probably 40% went to assisted living home.
