I'd love to be able to agree with you about it being "how you mentally feel about it"...… but if a community doesn't do a good/great job of making services available for it's seniors, than it's definitely more than how you feel about it mentally.

Thank you for your input about Ashville NC......I know other people thought the question was to general, but it was just to get people sharing their opinions about what they have experienced..... Thanks again!!   

"Are you relocating or doing this for research?"...….. Answer: It is really a little of both..... I haven't made any decisions about relocating yet..... all depends on what research I find.... Thank you !

I know AARP does their own articles on best places to retire.... but what are your thoughts based on your own experiences. Keep in mind.... cost, weather, transportation and most of all excellent health care for seniors. Thanks for your inputs.
