That typically means grandma lives with your family in her old age, rather then by herself or in some old folks home.

- meheleventyone 6y agoThis isn’t typical at least in my decade of living in Iceland.
- CathedralBorrow 6y agoAh, thanks. Iceland is whatever you call the opposite of that. Grandma very rarely lives with her family, she lives by herself -- hopefully with her partner -- until she is unable to and then moves into a system that ranges from living-alone-with-help to typical old folks homes, and will gradually move towards more care as her health allows. So that's wrong in the original comment, but the rest seemed pretty spot on to me, and doesn't change the argument much I think.
