We have mangaged to get our mentally ill and our developmentally delayed citizens out of institutions and into places that are more like "homes".
I wonder why we haven't been able to do that for our fragile seniors?
Yes, there are assisted living facilities, but it most often cost more $$ and out of pocket spending to essentially provide the same living experience as in a nursing home, only it's prettier in the assisted living.
Granted, some nursing homes are better than others, I happen to work in a really good one but, it is STILL obviously an institution.
...just sayin...
