I lived in Arizona a long time ago, Phoenix actually for a month or two and it’s about 13 or 14 miles from Scottsdale which I thought was beautiful. We called it Sun City, but I think it’s referred to as Valley Of The Sun and a lot of people retire there. Of course to me it looked like people with money lived there and I thought if I ever got rich that would be a place I would like to be.

If you have the money and your looking for an interesting and beautiful place you might want to consider Arizona senior living. I was looking at the Colten adult care homes and they look very nice. They have 3 different homes and people can even bring their own furniture if they choose and they will even accommodate pets. The meals are planned around your likes and dislikes.

The Colten senior care AZ is run by Jana and her husband. She’s a Clinical Social Worker and has been taking care of the elderly for 25 years in nursing homes and adult care homes. She decided she didn’t like the depressing atmosphere that she always encountered so decided she would try her hand and see if she couldn’t create a happier living experience for the elderly that choose to make their home with them.

The assisted living Scottsdale homes look beautiful and they have an activity director that works between the 3 homes to schedule events that the residents are interested in. They have live music once a week and try to make a loving, interesting life for the people that live there. I certainly wouldn’t want to be in a nursing home so if at all possible when I get a lot older I may have to consider the assisted living idea if I can afford it because it isn’t like being in an old folks home.

They have what we call high rises around here where we live for assisted living and they charge by your income, but there is a long waiting list and it’s like little apartments and doesn’t seem very friendly to me. Well, I’ll face all that when I have to. Hopefully Bill and I will be able to live here in our home  till we die and be able to maintain, although it is getting harder getting up and down steps.
