New arrivals at one retirement community were told by its director: “you are like pilgrims crossing the ocean to take up a new life.” this simile implicitly supports the author’s assumption that those moving to retirement communities feel: ambivalence about the wisdom of breaking with the past. satisfaction at becoming independent of their families. relief at leaving situations that had become difficult. optimism about being among those with similar goals.
