This should never have gone "out of style".  Our older generation has always needed the closeness of family members during their latter years, but seemed to always be stuck into a nursing home, sometimes with good reason but not always.  Sometimes they were just considered "a nuisance".  How AWFUL that must feel.  After all, they contributed a lot to the famiy themselves and now are discarded?  Yes, it's unthinkable.  Some families never embraced that nursing home idea, thank God.
