In other news. It is cheaper to stay on a cruise ship than in a nursing home. https://www.reshareworthy.com/old-lady-alone-on-a-cruise-ship/ https://www.reshar

  The cruise liner probably loses money if every customer is like that!

  She seems self-sufficient enough to not need a nursing home in the first place. Nursing homes aren't hotels. Does the cruise ship crew help her to shower? Get dressed? Brush her teeth? Are they able to deal with Alzheimer patients? I doubt they do.

  Seems like the lady in that story was telling a joke, as the services offered by a cruise ship wouldn't be comparable to an assisted-living facility, let alone a nursing home. Not to ruin the joke, just, if she merely needed food delivered and chores done with someone to take her to the doctor, she could live in a normal residence and hire that help for much less. Assisted-living facilities would provide a step up, then nursing homes provide support a level beyond that.

  That sounds like a wonderful environment for a person living with declining immunity. http://fortune.com/2019/01/12/500-sick-on-cruise-ship-oasis-of-the-seas/ http://fortune.com/2019/01/12/500-sick-on-cruise-ship-oasis-... https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp/surv/GIlist.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp/surv/GIlist.htm

  In the future it may become cheaper to live on an intergalactic cruiser than in a nursing home
