@joeo10 An aunt of mine had scheduled her 100th birthday in her suburban home back in 2009 but a week before the show, she decided to do some pruning of the shrubs at the front of the house. She fell & fractured her upper arm, so we had the party in the hospital.
She never went home, recognising it was time to move into aged care. She instructed her son & grand-daughter to “do your internet stuff & sell my house” then moved into an aged care facility near her son’s home in the. national capital, Canberra some 700 km away.
Her first impression was unfavourable: she said “I don’t like it here. It’s full of old people.”
She was the oldest there in years, by a fair margain.
She survived a further three-and-a-half years.
