Honesdale-Hawley

How many hospitals? Don’t retire too far from help. Old sucks. Accessible is the adjective you want describing everything in a new retirement home. Steps will be your barrier and time also. Think about this. When your healthy you don’t notice things that will one day suck so bad. Snow removal is a good one.

Wayne Memorial in Honesdale. A couple urgent cares in Dunmore/Dickson City. Three hospitals (one a trauma center) in Scranton. At least one in Wilkes Barre. Specialists at Geisinger in Bloomsburg or go to Philly.

Me and healthy haven't been together in a long time. Health problems and hospitals are a concern, as I'm not a stranger to the local hospital for a few years now.

We looked at a bunch of houses and only found two that didn't have water issues. One we bought. Shallow soils and shallow bedrock cause water to stay near the surface. Most of Wayne, Pike, Monroe and eastern Lackawanna counties are poorly drained.

I've had a suspicion about this when looking at listings on Zillow. Looking close at the walls by the floor you can almost make out some stains in most of the ground level rooms, noticed some other tell tale signs as well. Also probably why the houses are a lot less money than you'd expect. Some of the price I've written off as things near the city are more expensive because it's where the good paying jobs are, but it can't be the only reason.

Speaking of water ... I've noticed quite a few places have well water, what's dealing with that like?
