[quote=Anonymous]I am Japanese. My grandparents were both in nursing homes, visited regularly by their local children. My father, the "rich" expat, paid for the nursing homes. It was a good arrangement. The epidemic of loneliness, apart from the obvious issue with lifespan and lack of services for the elderly, is also linked to country vs urban development. There is no work in the countryside. People leave to work in the large cities, and then can't come back regularly to check on their elderly parents. This is a problem everywhere. [/quote]
