1. I haven't read the article yet, but on my way. If a person is over 70, they do not handle moving

their residence at all. Generally, when someone at that age or older, moves, they decline. Nothing is familiar, nothing is where it's suppose to be, they don't know the foot patterns when they walk into new rooms. A move will erase years from the senior, where they might have lived a longer, better quality of life staying at home.

Always something to keep in mind if you ever come to a point where you are responsible for the moving of a senior. What's best for them.

I've kicked the soapbox to the curb now and sorry for the thread drift. Thanks for listening.
