who moved from their home to an assisted living facility. They chose a facility that offered apartments of cottages. They chose a cottage, with a tiny lawn. Housekeeping and lawncare are included in their fees. They can cook in their cottage, or have meals in a common dining room. They moved over 2 years ago, and are very satisfied. They were allowed to keep their car, actually just bought a new one. I don't know if they have a personal garage, a common garage or a parking spot. They were also allowed to bring their old dog with them. He passed away about a year ago. There is a cat that comes around outside, and the cat gets fed by different residents

There are different kinds of assisted living, with different services and fees. From reading your posts, it doesn't seem very long since you moved into your current home, so I hope you can have a break before you move again.
