Why do some people want to change houses?
Stubborn Seniors
As soon as everyone was seated, Maude announced, “I’ve decided to sell my house.” Deborah Joy froze and Carmen dropped the fork she was holding. All heads swiveled to face her.
“I’ve decided that you’re right. I shouldn’t be living over there alone” She pulled out a flyer, one of the papers Doctor Beagrie had given Carmen a few months ago.
On Maude’s last day, the family decided to have a party. Carmen ordered a big pizza while her mother went to pick up Orson. Maude helped set the table and fill the water glasses. She played some music over the speakers Everyone pulled into the driveway at the same time. Carmen ran out to pay for the pizza, and then helped carry Orson’s oxygen tank into the house. Orson was still sitting out in her car, pouting with his arms crossed. Deborah came out and talked with him for a few moments, and then finally convinced him to come inside and eat some pizza.

“Well, Maude, you’re going to be positively exhausted,” Deborah Joy exclaimed with a huge smile. “Are you sure?” Brandon asked, “This is a big step.” “I’ve been thinking about it all week. I’m more than sure; I am actually really excited. It’s a change that makes sense for me. I’ll still be completely independent, but also have anything I might need.”
Maude opened the flyer and pointed to the information about the assisted living house. “It’s only a few blocks away. They’ve got a doctor on-call around the clock but otherwise it’s just like living in my own house. It will be a little smaller, but I will still have my own kitchen. And if I don’t want to cook, I can always order from their cafeteria.”
Maude was positively beaming while she talked about the assisted living facility. “And,” she gushed, “They have all sorts of activities. There is a music club, a cards club, knitting club, and once a month there is a dance with live music.”

D) in case of emergencies,
Everyone was smiling except Orson. He pushed his plate away from him angrily and crossed his arms. “Oh, I see what you’re doing. Get me in here for dinner and try to convince me that this assisted living place is where I should go, too.”
He took a long drink of water and then slammed his water glass on to the table and tried to stand up angrily.
Carmen tried to reason with her grandfather, "It could be really nice to be neighbors with Grammy. Brandon saw Orson react and spoke quickly “Orson, no one is trying to get you to do anything you don’t want to do, but -”
“I don’t want to be here.” “But, you have to think about the things you need. Maybe a change wouldn’t be a bad idea. Maybe you could -” He floundered for a bit, trying to think of an idea that might appease Orson.

D) in case of emergencies,
Everyone looked at each other around the table. Orson didn't look unconvinced, but thoughtful. Finally he frowned and shrugged, “I’ll think about it. But I still want to keep Georgina.” Behind her water glass, Deborah Joy smiled.
“I know!” Maude exclaimed. “You can stay in my house until I sell it. It’s right down the road, from here “And I could bring you dinner,” Deborah Joy said. “Or you could walk up here for dinner, if you wanted to.”
“And it would be much easier to take you to appointments, since you are so close,” Carmen added.
“It could just be temporary, see how you like living closer to us, but still by yourself,” Brandon finished.
