This article from the New York Times has a lot of great information in it including how to determine where you want to live and how to cultivate a group of people including family and professionals to help you out when you need it. I always imagined myself getting old in New York City, where I am from. There would always be things to do and public transportation to get to them. But as I navigate the city with my mother I realize it’s not so easy–you can reach a point of physical deterioration where you can’t use the subway or the bus. You are left with taxis which a) you can’t always get; b) are expensive; and c) get stuck in traffic. They are not so easy to get in or out of when you are using a walker. https://www.nytimes.com/
