As noted above, your children sell the condo at a controlled price when you die. You're not going to make $ off your condo, but this is not an economic hardship, it's just being old. So unless the couple is different than the typical Brooksby buyer, I think this is different than being forced off the lake due to taxes.
Brooksby is a very nice place for folks no longer able to maintain a house, and as noted above, they have various levels of nursing care available. Plus good food and social stuff--it's kind of like a college dorm for old people

The one hidden danger with places like brooksby is you aren’t actually buying a condo. Said another way there is no security for your “buy in”. If Brooksby goes bust you have an unsecured bankruptcy claim. It’s happened in the past. See the attached article
