That's just not true. Taking care of an elderly person is a 24/7 job that is not designed for only 1 to 2 caregivers. It literally takes a team of people in rotating shifts to care for ONE elderly person properly. And, it costs a ton of money. And, it takes a ton of emotional and physical energy from the caregiver. It is not an easy job and to make such a generalization is a slap in the face to caregivers in general who have no choice because they were forced into their caregiver role.
The only way out, is to find a nursing home room. That's why nursing homes exist.
