As people get older, they need to be cared for properly. In the United States, it is common for older people, men or women, to be put in nursing homes. Some people are in favour of this and others disagree with this practice. Depending on the level of care, it can be quite expensive. It can have an effect on families if it is done without the consent of the parent. And, it separates the elderly from loved ones.
