While society and social security have established the age proper for retirement, many seniors just aren’t ready to pack it in then. They leave their jobs but want to remain independent of their families and continue a lifestyle that accommodates their individual sense of living. This, most often, cannot be accomplished by moving in with the kids. The idea of like-minded people sharing a roof spawned the independent living communities to which today’s seniors are flocking.

No more mowing the lawn, property taxes, window washing, cooking every meal…true retirement is accomplished by moving to a senior living community. Yes, this should be the ideal scenario. But it isn’t always Utopia. The elder generation wants to retain its independence and its dignity. Life in a retirement community does not guarantee either.

The stories and incidents in this book have been gathered from former and current residents of senior living communities; their families; and past and present employees of several different senior communities. The retirement facility in this book is fictional. But similarities to actual communities are almost impossible to avoid as they are basically so much alike.

The narrator is also fictional as no one human could possibly see and know all this book contains. Hopefully, narration by a mouse will not diminish the information it has to share.
