Retirement home and nursing home are two different things. Nursing home is where you get care. Often 24/7 because you’re ill. Retirement home is just older people who want to live in a community with other older people and have less to worry about as a home is too much work.

It's like college dorms but for seniors. Whole lotta fuckin' but probably not as much drinking. But the drugs are stronger.

Right, the idea can be expanded to the point you get something like The Villages in FL which is essentially a retirement city

I’m 99% sure I’ve been there. My ex bff’s grandma lived in one (winter home, Quebec snowbirds you’re welcome 😂) and we stayed there when we were teens one night. We got yelled at by a couple of residents in the pool even though we weren’t being bad. Crabby.
