“When [I] first moved into retirement living, [I] had a fear of leaving the comfort and security of [my] home. It was the fear of the unknown and having to rely on others for some needs.

“I don’t recall being afraid. I would continue living the same way I was [living], just in a new location.”

“I feared a lack of privacy in a group setting. But with my own suite, I can close the door or leave it open as I want. I adapted too to the new way of life.”
