Lynn Creasy at Foundation House at Northgate describes the types of retirement living. Some people can be well off in their own home if they’re social and healthy, but others may want to look at other options, if they’re lonely and their chores aren’t getting done.

In the 5-10 years before people are ready to move, Foundation House acts as an information resource.
