4. Retirment homes aren't bad... well at least not in the US. It's you either need to be able to speak up for yourself or have visitors because the aids don't always have as much time for everyone because of how some people are. My grandma is in a nursing home right now and I think she's happier then she was when she wasn't. Prepaired food, free laundry, plenty of people to meet, hang out with, scheduled events. I'd live in one now if i could. Most of the US ones are pretty good. You've just got to watch out on the ones that are mostly or fully run by the government. They're getting paid by the government so they often don't give a crap because people can't take their money elsewhere. That's where you get things like neglect and abuse. |
2. - Those things are necessary for stability and securite (and ironically for maintaining liberal ideals in Scandinavia).
4. - My problem with such places is what they represent: you're old, you can no longer take care of yourself, you're no longer needed or useful, you have no one to take care of you and be there for you so you have to get stangers to do it. Quite frankly, suicide seems like a better option.
And LOL @ at wanting to go to such a place now gramps.
