We have to look at the whole concept of huge nursing homes. Many people could be taken care of at home - and there’s certainly enough people who’d like a job like that. I have family in NYC - Including a 93 yr old - and the home health aide comes every day to take care of her, etc.

And people do have to be allowed to visit. The 96 year old woman in France who wrote that she’d rather die because she hadn’t seen anybody from her family for three months and she didn’t even know why was the one who convinced the French to go back to permitting family visits.

There’s more to life than just breathing in and out.

Good private, individual, at-home care cost $6,000.00/month. I'm sure there is cheaper care...but THAT would involve an institution.

I’m hoping AI robots will be perfected by the time I need assistance.

Better that than being assisted by someone who got their degree from a “Math & Science Academy”.
