CHAPTER 1
MOVING PROBLEMS FOR SENIORS
MANY OF OUR FRIENDS HAVE died or are requiring help from others, including their families.
Thus we started to plan for a different life style. Growing older and having health issues from time to time, my wife and I decided to move closer to our family. Family members had to travel relatively long distances to visit us when we were in the hospital or not feeling well. Thus we contemplated moving.
We looked at various locations and considered different types of housing. Our homes have been split level, colonial style with all bedrooms on the 2nd floor and laundry in the basement, and ranch style homes with basements. As we get older and have difficulty walking, using stairs in multiple level homes is an additional challenge.
Some seniors want to move to a senior living facility The living facilities are usually small apartments with one or two bedrooms with limited area for clothes, a living room for a small kitchen table, a couch, a TV, and a small desk. A portion of a wall is usually designed as a "kitchen". Most of these small "apartments" do not have a laundry room within the individual units and one has to use a community laundry room down the hall. Usually there are no covered areas or garage for your vehicle. Some seniors may need to move to an assisted living facility if family members are not able to assist or such a living environment would make life more enjoyable by associating with others. In either case this means getting rid of many household items, and most people just don't want to part with anything. Excess clothing, furniture, and other items need to be disposed of or put in storage that generally means paying storage fees for items that likely will never be used or even seen again! The advantages of these living facilities include meals, activities, and transportation to shopping centers or doctor appointments. Those who have the ability to scale-down to the bare essentials are free to relax in these facilities and can focus on enjoying the rest of their lives, including friends, TV, movies (DVDs), their photo albums and updating their personal journals and family history.
We were not ready for a senior living facility so we decided to move into a senior development designed for persons 55 years of age or older. These homes are single level and some have basements. We found a development to our liking in Utah where one of our sons lives. The home owners association has strict covenants that does not per

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
