Where I have lived for the last fifteen years, I have been in such persistent isolation that I know hardly anybody and have no friends to lose.
I don't dig in gardens, nor do I have musical instruments to move.
Although I have given thought to one of those portable keyboards,
don't they have some with headphones so that only you can hear what you are playing,
or am I making that up out of wishful thinking?

So an apartment complex with active seniors and a full roster of activities
would be a big improvement over where I was living before I got into treatment.
The buildings are on the edge of a municipal park, good for walking, in a good residential neighborhood.
The community amenities include two meals a day in the dining room,
and light housekeeping once a week.

The staff and administration get rave reviews for being hard-working, well organized, and genuinely dedicated to the well-being of the residents --
I mean reviews literally, from multiple sources.
They work hard to make the community inviting and welcoming.
The complex is large enough that a resident can retreat for some downtime without being missed, if need be; not so small as to feel totally exposed all the time.
I do wish they had public computer stations, but I didn't see those; some places have them in a sort of community library space.

The complex is "independent living" although residents who are frail or ailing can get assistance at an extra cost.
It is not a community with "assisted living" as such.
I just don't feel ready for
a community that also has assisted living and memory care on the same campus.
