Alzheimers,dementia,diabetes,mobility. Not everyone can deal with these issues. Not in a safe way at least.
And changing diapers and feeding administering medications.
Does everyone from the old country have psw/rn qualifications?

Exactly. Everyone thinks it's a great idea to keep mom or pop at home forever until the reality that they can't left dear old dad out of bed to bathe him and change his diapers, and that the 45 minutes they leave the house to go get groceries mom has wandered out of the house in her nightgown and is 4 blocks over trying to get into some else's car because they think it's theirs.

Massive kudos to those who CAN do this, but it takes the right person who can physically and mentally do it.

And reality is a lot of people in these situations but with some level of mental deterioration may sometimes be happier (or at least fare better) in a nursing home where they receive a higher level of care, social interaction with others in their age group, and there's entertainment and enrichment, especially if it's being compared to "OK, you're out of bed, changed, cleaned up and fed, here's the TV remote".

If there are any sellers reading this thread, get this through your heads, nobody cares if that old bike of yours was the one you met your wife with or the one your father bought you before he died, I don't care what rubbish emotional strings you attach to it, I'm going to pay you used market rates and I will apply depreciation to the fullest extent.

I like it when people like that come to look at a bike I'm selling. Gives me an opportunity to let off some steam while they're hustling their azz out of my driveway.

it's a cultural expectation. also, to be fair; people have been dealing with it this way for a long long lonng time and the old country is still there.

Old country or new country. Some people can’t afford to pay for their loved ones to be in long term care. When my buddy was looking he said the average price for him mom was 6k/month....more than his salary.
They ended up finding a spot in QC somewhere for half of that, but it was a struggle.
