elderly apartment complex

[tommyg]

My girl friend had a serious case of cancer. She needed chemo therapy and surgery. Due to her extensive medical needs (she was in frail condition before the cancer) I rented an apartment in a complex that was restricted to seniors my girl friend and I both moved in. We moved in and stayed for six months. The complex was not licensed as a nursing home. There was a sign on the front door 30.06. The way I understand it that it is legal to carry into an apartment complex if you go directly to your apartment. any one have info on this.

Note My girl friend survived chemo and high risk surgery. We are now living in my cabin south East of Lockhart. She is doing substantial well
