[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the point of middle aged? This happens at all ages.[/quote] Yeah the nursing home cliques can be brutal.[/quote] My 85 year old parents live in an apartment complex for 65+. It's mostly people aged 75+. There's lots of social activities and daily continental breakfast, so they're intermingling a lot. And yes, the cliques are bad. There's tons of gossip and gatekeeping going on. They thought about moving but their friends in other places said don't bother, it's like that everywhere. [/quote] My father experienced that. He gave up, stuck with his existing couple of friends, and luckily had my mother and family nearby. When he died and my mother moved on to another place, I could see it in play. A friend told me how her mother’s assisted living had to do seat assignments at lunch and dinner because of it. Otherwise it would get out of control and end up in their Internet reviews. [/quote]
