It doesn't have to be towns.... many villages have "sheltered" accomodation these days and also have other facilities, including buses... my mum and dad sold up when I moved out and moved into a village where they rented a flat... they had several nice years until dad got ill and died, but even during that period it helped no end that they were in somewhere where they could get help quickly when needed...
The problem is that many people get set in their ways and won't consider a move even though it can often be the best solution... the old days 100 years ago when the whole family lived together or very near each other have long since gone in most cases so moving may be the only practical way forward if the person wants to still get out and about and meet people...
Luckily I've never got too sentimental about anywhere I've lived, regarding each move as an oportunity to get out and see new places... lucky really as I've so far lived in NW England, central Scotland and the Midlands!
