I've been through this with my Mom. She moved from her home (which she owned but had to sell due to market, zoning, etc. (story unto itself) which she could have rented for the rest of her life at a very reasonable rate to and independent apt. in a large "graduated" facility. She talked a big game about engaging in social activities but really never has. There is plenty to do there, the place is great but she is going downhill mentally quickly. Her memory is getting bad and I'm not sure how much longer she'll be able to stay independent but they have assisted and memory care at this place. Her money would buy her a decent amount of time private pay if she lives long enough. She's a pretty unhealthy 82.
Options will depend on her financial situation, both assets and income. It will also depend on her attitude and ability to build new relationships. That is where my Mom has stalled out. She basically sits in her place all day watching TV with her Dog. She could have done that at home. My Dad passed 12 years ago and this has basically been her life since.
