@vicki8261 Well said. After the death of my mother (who I believe was worn to death) I had to put my brother who had Down Syndrome and dementia into a group home. I didn't want to do it, but his needs had become such that he needed a team of people to look after him around the clock. I helped my mother to help my brother, but when it was mainly myself and a little transportation help from a sibling, I couldn't do it. I was being worn out. I now see how the caregiver can be the one to die before the person receiving the care.

Wonderful places. I grew up in a rather large house, additions made over the years by preceding generations of my family, and now that I'm in the no-longer-young category and have arthritis and some heart trouble that family house would be far too much for me. One of these Japanese tiny homes would be great for me. I think I and many others would be able to live alone for longer times and with less need for assistance. One change I would need is a bed that's at a "regular" Western height because of the difficulty gettting to a standing position from at or near floor level. I'm going to be looking at my studio apartment in a different way.
