Self-driving cars and AI robots will keep a lot of people from having to go to a nursing home. I figure they will have attained such capabilities by the time I reach that stage. I’ve always said I will never go to one.
Exactly - level 4 self driving cars can’t arrive soon enough for my 83 year mother and her 80 year old friends.
Driving with someone over 80 hrs old is like driving with someone who drank a bottle of gin. it’s terrifying
Nursing homes and assisted living facilities are for people that can't take care of themselves or have trouble doing so. In my community, there are free or low cost services that will transport the elderly to stores, appointments, and etc. We also have an excellent bus service. And of course there are the ride sharing services and taxis.
