Actually, it's sort of true that it is easier to die there. One of the reasons is bacterial infection. A late change of soiled pampers, for example, promotes bacterial growth. And it spreads to the rest. Someone will flu will spread to the rest too. This is the risk associated with communal living.

Of course, staying at home also has its own risk - falls, etc.

People are inherently selfish. Parents too. Most fail to see how they affect their children's quality of life by insisting on staying in own home when they cannot take care of themselves.

You are not alone. Many who worked there will find themselves family-less as people avoid them when they are no longer working there. It doesn't matter how well they treated their family members when they were working in sinkie.
