Getting back to the nursing home debate, that may be true for that member or/relative of yours Don, he/she may have hated living that way, but I am telling you, that there are a lot of people that have their full senses about them that actually don't mind living in an aged care setting, they realize that living at home is no longer for them, so they opt for somewhere where they will be taken good care of.

She loves all of her 'old dears' and they all love her, some of them are palliative, or are otherwise 'on borrowed time' (my words, not hers) but a goodly number of them have simply moved in because for whatever reason they cannot look after themselves, or have simply decided that basically living in a hotel with on sight nurses and cleaners and fully kitchen you don't need to drive or clean yourself is a fantastic lifestyle.

I live down the road from a nursing home, and I am forever seeing their little 'adventure bus' coming and going with all the oldies on board, mostly they're mobile under their own steam, but occasionally I see one or a couple being wheeled. I have no idea where they go for their outings, but they don't ever look to be returning from a hard day's work in the metaphorical salt mine.
