The Golden Bachelorette's Joan Vassos Visits Retirement Home Without Chock Chapple While Searching For New House Amid Red Flags

Amid her search for a new house to buy in New York, The Golden Bachelorette's Joan Vassos stopped by a retirement home. Joan is engaged to Chock Chapple after they met during The Golden Bachelorette season 1. They've shown off their love for each other, but that hasn't stopped their critics from making bold declarations that their relationship won't last. Making matters worse, Joan and Chock live in separate states, so they have to fly back and forth between Maryland and Kansas just to see each other, which is why they want to buy a home together in New York.

Joan is back in New York as she continues to try to find a new place that both she and Chock can call home. She also found the time to visit RiverSpring Living, a retirement and assisted living facility in the Bronx. However, Joan didn't stop by there because she wants to move in there. Rather, she wanted to deliver an inspiring message about reinventing oneself at any age. Joan posted updates on her Instagram Stories, including the moment she met the oldest resident at the facility, a 101-year-old man named Harold, as well as the speech pathologists.

Joan called the residents the "nicest group to share my journey with." She wanted to share the message that "love can happen when you least expect it." She included a video of her speech, in which she said that as her kids got older and started their own lives separate from her own, she knew she was "going to become less significant...so I knew I had to challenge myself to find a different life and to find love."

What Joan Vassos’ Heartwarming & Inspiring Retirement Home Visit Means

Joan Uses Her Fame For Good

Joan's main purpose for being in New York was to continue her search for a new home. However, that didn't stop her from using her new public platform to spread positivity and give others hope that they, too, can find love, no matter what age they are. The Golden Bachelorette star doesn't hesitate to take advantage of the latest social media trends to create viral videos with Chock, but that doesn't mean her newfound fame has gone to her head; her visit to the retirement facility proves that she's still a down-to-earth woman who won't hesitate to help others.

Interestingly, Chock didn't appear in any of the videos or photos that Joan posted from RiverSpring Living. If he was also in New York, maybe he was visiting with a realtor. It's also possible he was really busy at home in Kansas and couldn't make this particular trip. It would have been inspiring to see both Joan and Chock speak to the retirement home residents and hear directly from the Golden Bachelorette winner with his perspective on finding love at any age.
