“Multigenerational living” will not save you from the nursing home once you’re old enough and sick enough. The way you end up in a nursing home is having a stroke or huge medical issue when you’re in your late eighties, which was nature’s way of mercifully putting you down, going to a hospital, being nonsensically kept alive through some kind of Frankenstein wizardry because they’re legally obligated to save you, going to a “rehabilitation facility,” where you never fully recover because you’re already at life’s natural end, and being too big for your family members to lift and care for at home. Now you’re essentially dead but still suffering, and you’ll just drain your savings to be tortured. The family compound cannot and will not save you from this fate. Only the DNR and advance directive can. Accept death. It comes for all of us.
