I guess this appeal is dependent on the homes that you've been to. My husband's grandmother was in a place so nice we envied her, but it was expensive.

As someone else, Kevin and KSigKid maybe, pointed out, it's a hard issue to deal with. Unless you have some sort of mandatory program to check up on people who say they don't want to be checked up on, I don't know how we can make sure that we take good care of the elderly.

It seems like the best bet is just doing unto others. . . I'll look in on my elderly neighbor because I would want others to do the same for my parents or me.
