but the much larger reason would be the expected youth of their members. All the photos were of apparently younger healthy people

I agree the photos seem to be of young people. But some of them are at a distance etc. So I wouldn't assume this is accurate.

When I was 48, someone who thought I was the older sister of my adult sons -- and pegged their ages accurately -- guessed that I was 30. I have been repeatedly mistaken for their older sister.

If you remain physically active, you can appear younger than you are. This doesn't guarantee that you don't have health issues. (I have a serious medical condition.)



They say that half their active members are under 30 on another page.


The average age (for adults) at Twin Oaks is about 45. At Acorn it is about 35. I have not been to East Wind for a long time, but it is likely somewhere between these two ages.

I think it's just the rest of us look older )
