I read the comments of other subscribers and know that I am very fortunate to recieve a good pension from Vet Affairs. I am totally deaf from war service and have another related complaint but can live with these things.Some years ago I realised that it was best for me financially to move into a retirement home and the one I chose does all the required maintenance when you put in a request. No gardener fees etc However the cost of living here does go up with the price of things and has almost doubled since I came When I leave they will recoup all the cost by the Defered payment system that these places have but I am not going to be too concerned about that as my family can fend for themselves I feel.
