My mom told me when she gets old she does not want to live in a senior's home.
I don't think a lot of seniors like to live there.
I once interviewed 2 por pors who live in a senior's home close to Chinatown. One was single all her life (no family) so she was sort of okay.
The other one furnished her room with tons of pictures of her children and grandchildren. What I think is, yes, her basic care is taken care of. She can even socialize with friends of her age if she wants. Yet she seems so lonely! I was a complete stranger to her but after the interview, she asked me if I could visit her again if I have time...
I also had a por por friend (no family) living in a senior's home in HK. Whenever I visit her and take her out for yum cha, the nurses and other gung gung por por living there will say "so happy ar, someone bring you out".  My feeling is none of them wanted to stay there.
