I wonder if they have a speaker system in every unit, to shout 'Hi-de-hi' every morning, just to check whether you have survived the night.

They are nothing like holiday camps and you don't have to conform to anything. They are just housing complexes with the added benefit of entertainmemt, shops, hairdressers etc. If you choose to live an isolated life in them that is ok as well but to a lot of older people being able to have adult company is preferable to isolating theirselves. Quite often people are lonely in their homes for fear of going out, in a place like this safety issues can be forgotten and vulnerable people can socialise if they so choose.
