Location is an important factor to consider when making the choice to retire. Your chosen location can affect how often you are visited by family and friends and it is well documented that frequent visits are important for a senior’s mental and emotional well being. As well, being in close proximity to the resident can alleviate stressors for family members should a problem arise.
