In America, family ties have all but dissolved. It wasn't too long ago that multi-generational households we're the norm. Grandparents cared for the kids while parents work. When grandparents were very old they were cared for at home instead of shipping out to a nursing home.

@muhammedmansoor3406 earn money = yes, work for it = no. All younger generation is focused on is how to get RICH QUICK. I blame it on social media influencers and the entertainment industry. Not ALL youths, but the majority do not have the physical work ethic of their previous generations. So, our trade industries are suffering BIG TIME for workers. And those are the jobs that cannot be sent overseas: builders, electrician, plumbers, welders, appliance repair, auto repair, truck drivers, heavy equipment operator. All hard labor, dirty, stressful, but high paying, often union jobs with benefits.

@nataliaperez9954 yes, I agree some seniors get to a point of having special needs that can best be met in a special nursing facility. But many elders do not have these special needs.

@Fock Religion so sorry to hear of this suffering, it mirrors my own family. But it was not the NORM. I never said everything was roses and fun, living with 3 and 4 generations under one roof. But it was common, especially for newlyweds, to move back in until they could save up enough for a down payment on their own home or rental. What do you think THE AMERICAN DREAM was all about? Being able to afford a home of your OWN.

@lisbondiaries9212 perhaps in the cities, not in Rural America. My family still lives on the same land it bought in 1906.

@xtheory my, there's an awful lot of defensive guilt on this post! Re-read ALL my posts, I talk about how if seniors have special needs then yes, additional help in the home or a facility is warranted. I work at a real estate company and we deal with living trusts, estates, etc. More often, families have scattered because someone was pursuing a career, was transfered, likes summer vs cold winter, etc and grandparents are left behind to care for themselves until that can no longer take place. MANY seniors would not have to go to nursing homes if they could have changes made to their existing house, and maybe a person to stop by once or twice a week. Are there seniors with special needs? Yep. Regular nursing homes in my part of rural Michigan are about $7k PER MONTH, without special care. Who can afford to pay that bill? America's healthcare system is atrocious, but I don't think things will get better WITHOUT the involvement of the family. Now as much as you are claiming I am looking through the world with "rose colored glasses", please realize your own experience is also coloring your own personal judgement. In my network of friends, I know more seniors in their 80s with minds just as sharp as ever - senior like this EXIST! They just need extra physical help. Our families have apartments on our houses for them. They stay with us until the very end. America is a mix of cultures, unless you go back to the Native Americans, all tribes had their own customs.
