But very common in old age. Elderly people needing different levels of care. My spouse needs more care than I can give him at home, so he had to go to a group home where he can get the care he needs. I live at home because I don't need care.

In his group home there's a man who needs a lot of care and his wife needs some care. So she lives in a facility for people who need only some supervision, but no real care. She visits and they talk on the phone several times a day.

Getting old requires strength.
