The senior place where my Dad lived, there were numerous married couples living there, where one of the spouses need help. Dad had sold his house and used the equity to pay for the monthly rent and extra care package for himself. He loved the place :)
If that idea isn't possible, I realize telling a spouse that it is time that he needs a village to help him, him will probably dislike the idea. I feel as we age, we forget that our spouses are aging, too. He might still view you as being in your 30's or 40's with a lot of energy.... that's not uncommon. My 90+ parents did that to me.
