Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
We do not have LTCi. Our plan is to move to a CCRC in 4-5 years when my spouse will be 80 - 81 and I will be 70 - 71. It may feel early for me but I'm hopeful we will be able to afford an independent cottage on the campus that will still feel like our own home and not an institution.
Be aware that if you or your DW have a "health event" during the 4 - 5 years while you're waiting, you and/or DW may not pass their mental/physical requirements for a Type A plan. You must be totally capable of independent living when you enter.
DW and I are also looking a Type A CCRC's and find picking an entry age to be frustrating. Go in too soon and you might be wishing you were still in your own home and living that lifestyle. Wait too long and have a "health event," and you can't get in except under a Type C plan.
