Budget

Don't waste time researching places you cannot realistically afford

Unfortunately, a common game in the Retirement Home field is to insist you book and take a tour first, before they show you the prices. This allows them to assess you and offer prices based on their perception of your ability to pay.  Sadly, people often leave with a feeling of diminishment and embarrassment about their financial situation after decades of work and saving.
