[quote=Anonymous]My mom's aunt moved in with us growing up, and lives with us for over 30 years. She paid a tiny bit of room & board from her social security but my parents took care of her otherwise. I have an aunt in good health who also helps take care of two of her best friends from college who are now in poor health. One is in a nursing home with dementia and they go visit her a few times a month -- I think they also her the nursing home when it because obvious she needed it. A lot of people don't have all that, though, obviously. If you don't have either money or good friends, you end up in the situation where the best you can hope for is that a neighbor calls adult services on you, and they come and find you a nursing home. This is also making me think of Carl in UP. RIP Ed Asner.[/quote]
