It doesn’t seem like the ordinary worker in an assisted-care facility would have the income to take a trip to China. Possible, though.

It used to cost far less than you might imagine, as in $400 to $500 round trip to Peking (from the West Coast), including bags, meals, and even alcohol. Did that a bunch of times (not just China). And once in China, still cheap, relative to much of the US.
But, of course, those days are gone. I expect to air travel to move to much more ‘comfortable’ flying, with wider seat spacing and no more recirculated air. So probably closer to $1000 round trip (minimum), and that’s assuming our currency survives this nightmare.

Might be cheaper than we know.
(Vietnamese) nail techs, here in the US, make REGULAR trips to Vietnam, throughout the year.
I always wondered how they could afford that. One tech told me it wasn’t that much money....something they save for and then they spend at least a month there.
I haven’t been to a nail salon, in over four months. These at home manis are looking better, by the day :-)
The Asian workers in a hospitality industry facility situated on a U.S. military base I’m familiar with do travel back home once or even twice per year, and then again for funerals, etc.
You have to realize how much money and benefits these immigrants get from the US taxpayer THEY can afford to fly to China a hell of a lot more than we can!! They live MANY families to a household all the families in the household get section 8 housing vouchers so NO RENT on top of no medical, no food expenses, no child care expenses the nanny state pays for EVERYTHING they need!!!
