I'm not a senior, but this type of thing has sort of happened in my family. In my case, when my mom became a senior, after her husband passed away she moved to the same city where I was. We didn't live together, but we lived right around the corner from each other, and I was at her place almost daily for years and years. One of my aunts went through something similar where her mom (my darling grandmother) lived right around the corner from her, or in the exact same apartment complex as she did. They were never apart, and always lived just steps away from each other even after my aunt got married (and divorced) twice.I think it's a natural thing to want to be close to your kids, no matter how old they are.
Well, I think the urge to want to move with the kids is one that most people struggle with. I know an aunt of mine who had a hard time letting go of her first-born daughter plus my cousin could hear none of her parents moving to the same city as hers. It is interesting that soon after ,most couples get used to the empty nest.

Your story sounds like a nice solution: not living together but still somewhere nearby for an emergency. How did you like it?
