I was talking to our owner the other day and he asked me to look for an article on the effect moving has on people over the age of 65 or “Seasoned Citizens,” as he likes to call the other members of his generation.
I found the article he mentioned here.
Here’s what I took away: “What has been observed by daily experience throughout the entire long term care industry, and supported by numerous studies, is that individuals living in institutional care (regardless of age) will have significantly shorter life expectancies than their contemporaries living independently. Mortality is not only driven by their condition, but also by the impact of the significant change in environment”
Here’s another article about downsizing in retirement.
It goes into the financial costs of moving which can very easily total over $25,000, including realtor’s fees.
