First, things will happen if friends stick together all the time. A day or two is fresh, but this overly close friendship will not last long. Between people, especially acquaintances, there is not so much to talk about. After years of absence, feelings are warmer. Being together every day will soon only expose each other's shortcomings. Second, in fact, this is an acquaintance who set up a pension bureau and needs to spend a lot of money to hire people, which is not much different from a nursing home in essence. Besides, the constraint of nursing homes is that people will be more honest. Once there is a contradiction between friends, they will be dissolved if they say they are dissolved, which is completely unstable. So I don't like it.
What is needed for providing for the aged is a certain amount of money, and what is needed more is the emotional care of family members. This emotional line is very important for the elderly and is the root of happiness in their later years. If you ask, how do you know? You are not old. Well, even if this matter needs scientific research, it is only a follow-up survey of some societies, which has been proved by relevant sociological and psychological surveys. What's more, the investigation may not always get the truth, that is to say, if all the conclusions of those lies are taken into account, the results will actually be more credible. People are happy in their later years and need affection and friendship. People are dying, there is no need to lie.
Of course, it is boring for us to discuss such things with some examples. There are old people whose children are unfilial and even beaten, and there are also single rich people who seem to enjoy their old age. But what we rely on in the careful choice of fork in the road, I think, is not some foreign surveys, but a thorough reflection on people's life after having children in middle age. Middle-aged people who lack a sense of meaning in life ask themselves and believe that they know what they are doing.
