Hi All,
I am fairly sure that prior to WW2 there were no such things as care homes. Old people either fended for themselves or were looked after by their children..
Now every city and town has care homes usually privately owned and run for profit. What does this indicate? Were children of yesteryear more mindful of the needs of their aged parents and were prepared in the main to help them and find room in their homes for parents unable to look after themselves.
Or, is it the children of today who are mindful of the fact that their parents need care and are prepared to find care homes for them and, in some instances, help pay for the care?
