Hello Susan,   Thank you for your question. While I am not in a position to recommend what you should do about your living arrangements, I would recommend that you continue to take your calcium supplements. If you have been diagnosed as having osteoporosis and cannot take any of the bisphosphonates (Fosamax, Boniva, Actonel), you should at least continue to take calcium daily, and vitamin D if you can. The vitamin D helps the body to absorb the calcium better. Before starting any new supplement, however, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist to be sure that the new supplement won't interfere with any of the medications that you are currently taking. Also, there are other options for treatment of osteoporosis that do not involve bisphosphonates. Calcitonin (brand names Fortical and Miacalcin) is an alternative to bisphosphonates for postmenopausal women, and raloxifene (brand name Evista) is an option for the premenopausal women with osteoporosis. Another alternative medication is teriparatide, brand name Forteo. I hope this helps!   Best of luck, Casey
