You'll find a few in the US, but they won't be American and probably not Catholic, either.  They will be the adult daughters of Asians, Arabs, Indians, Africans for whom culture dictates an unmarried daughter lives with her parents.  
Personally, I'm glad I never married or had children.  I see what has happened to those of my age group, 55-65, all divorced, raising their grandkids of assorted unmarried children with multiple partners, all have lost the Faith, most follow no religion whatsoever, a chaotic, charityless mess.  I moved out at 18, female or not, it was expected. Wanted when young to be a teaching or medical sister, but by then, the convents were empty, just nuns in pantsuits with bad hair, into occultish trash or silly political causes.  I'm nearly 60, too late for sisterhood, fair health, working long hours to survive.  I'll be satisfied to die at any time, so long as I'm in a state of grace.  
Marriage isn't for everyone, and many who are married are married to the wrong person or in the wrong vocation.    They never bothered to pray for guidance or they just told Our Lord what they thought they should do and went ahead and did it.
I envy you being unattached.

I believe a 60 yo who is alone and has no family (or hid family isn't catholic) shoulf join a religious order. Maybe with other 60 yo or mature women.

The world is very dangerous to live without other christians.

Real catholics should live together according to their state of life.

I married an Asian pagan. She by the grace of God converted to the Catholic faith. She has been praying the Rosary and attending Mass even before she got baptized.

Asians are less corrupted and more conservative, they are less prone to divorce. Why don't you try Asians?? Of course you also need to pray in the meantime.

It sounds good, but where is this religious order that takes old lady novices?  I’ve found one, in France.  You need to speak fluent French and be debt free.  It’s novus ordo, for me, an automatic deal breaker.
