Here is a link to a really disturbing article on a retirement community in Norfolk Virginia that has banned the truly sick/elderly (anyone in “assisted living” in their community) from their upscale dining room, The River Terrace.  Apparently this is a trend that is somewhat common around the US in the new retirement villages that are gaining in popularity.  Beware what kind of community you move into before you do – and what sort of decisions they may be likely to make in the future regarding the forced segregation of the truly sick or disabled from the healthier part of the community.
