Elders should be part of the extended household instead of warehoused away in long-term care facilities.
Sometimes they are annoying as fuck tho, and shit the bed, and call 911 a dozen times a day cuz they think you are a burglar (my mom for example)
In some instances there is a point where it is safer to put them in a facility. Too often they are shipped off only because it is an inconvenience.
In my world, if you are not actively doing something for me, you are inconvenient, irritating, and disposable
I didn’t see any indication of that... might be a local issue...
