MIL bid for, got the assisted living HDB then gave it up even before it was ready.
DH and SIL encouraged her to go for it and paid for all the processes, etc. But in the end she felt that the units were too small even though it is just her. She is still thinking of how when it comes to CNY gathering or cell grp meetings, etc, the place will be too small for such gatherings. She also feels that there is no place for her sewing machine and refrigerator. Not that she sews that much these days. And she was thinking she wants to bring her current fridge along when we told her by the time the unit is ready, we will get her a new and smaller fridge. She could not accept all these. Without telling or consulting with DH or SIL, MIL went ahead and gave up the assisted living unit, much to DH and SIL’s disappointment and frustration. -

What's the penalty for giving up the assisted living flat?

if her current one is hdb, near to amenities, markets , food etc probably the PUSH factor is not strong to move to a smaller Senior unit

Out of curiosity, I googled for more info. The studio is only 30sqm, it’s like the size of 2 bedrooms joined together.
Definitely not for me as it is too claustrophobic. Wake up from the bed, can see the kitchen sink and fridge. It is really small. Don’t think my children & grandchildren will want to come visit me as there’s no place for them to sit around -

My MIL’s studio flat was from an older scheme. The size is 45 sqm. Still have a good sized living room with sofa and extendable dining table for all of us to gather. The layout is also quite good, with the bathroom being in the centre (jack and jill doors) joining the sole bedroom to the kitchen.

So i guess the newer units have shrunk since then.
There are good benefits from living there, with people regularly stopping by to check on her. Recently she also requested for one more grab bar next to the toilet bowl, as her knees are more painful now. HDB sent ppl to install it at very subsidized price ~$10. Those same kind of hospital grade grab bar, we had to buy from commercial store at $200 when renovating our place for her safety. -
I think part of the challenge is that 50/55 to 70/75 probably looks a lot different than 70/75 to the end. I’ve thought about whether I’d want to be by a park/outdoors or closer to amenities (town centre, top of MRT, or other commercialised location). Obviously, some locations may have both. There are also some larger developments that you can walk around in quite nicely without going out on the main road/need to take transport.
Switching may also not be easy due to the loan limitations and property depreciation (whether freehold or leasehold).
I believe there are some new 2-room flats that are about 45 sq meters. There is also an option in the low-30s sq meters, and that looks to be like the assisted living option that was mentioned above.
Anyways, to keep an eye on some of the new areas being developed… -
I quite like small units bec I dislike doing household chores.
