North Carolina is her choice and looking at Wilmington area. I have been Googleing the Wilmington area and she is so excited over what we have been reading. I just do not want to make a mistake as this move will take all we have to get out of New England and must be right for her. Any suggestions and thoughts will be so appreciated. Does anyone know if there is elderly housing as we are on a very strict budget? Any suggestions for an extended stay motel or hotel until we can get a better feel for where we are to make a final move if she is happy? Thanks so very much.

Wilmington as NC's largest coastal city also has the largest hospital of any coastal city in the state. It is far enough south that it will not get a real winter. Compared to New England, even Asheville (in what passes for mountains in NC) does not have a real winter. There are other cities along the coast with good hospitals, Morehead City comes to mind most easily, smaller, closer knit, friendly. Doesn't have all the amenities that come with a larger metropolitan area, but, is friendly, comfortable place. Either would be a good choice.
