Move or not to move. Can't decide.
Early 70s and in reasonably good health, familiar with the current area, doctors etc. Very few friends, no support system.
or
move to another location close to family and grand kids.
In a somewhat similar situation -- we moved.
DH and I had lived in the same area for many years. I had been there since my mid-20s and he had been there since his teens.
DH is 70 and I am 64, both in good health. He has kids from a prior marriage. We have 3 kids together. Kids are scattered with 5 of this state and one who recently moved away. Our kids don't yet children so I have no grandkids. DH does have grandkids (mostly grown now) but, again, scattered all around.
He no longer had much close family where we were living ...most had died off. He had one brother maybe an hour away. We had changed some of our interests over the years and didn't have a lot of good friends in the area. I had one close friends...but she was an hour away.
We realized that we really had no particular reason to stay in the area except just inertia and familiarity. We were familiar with the area and that was a big factor. We considered moving to an area closer to amenities but in the same general area.
One of the things I did think about was what about later. At the time I was thinking about this my mom was starting to struggle with having outlived most of her close family (she was 94). I was the only child but a couple of hundred miles away. I saw how difficult it was to be alone with little support.
Anyway -- we ended up moving to the same general area where I grew up. None of my kids live here. But, one of DH's daughters is in this area. I do have other family in this area however. While I don't exactly want support from them or need it, I do think it will be helpful to be in an area where I do have at least some family that would at least give some help.
I also have a couple of good friends in this area so that is also a big bonus.
