Do you see yourself in a nursing home some day?

Do you see yourself in a nursing home some day?

Or do you see yourself finishing your final days at home, with or without a support system?
Personally, from what I have witnessed working in this field, I will ensure to have measures in order to never end up in any such place.

I sincerely believe that I would take my own life first.
Excellent question, btw. Boru

I already have plans (Do Not Resuscitate) in place that will preclude extraordinary measures. I also do not want to be (force-) fed if a quadriplegic. I would much rather end it first, had I the chance, and at the right time- which is really tough to judge.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
The premiere issue, in accordance with absurd corporate Americanism, is how the setting has become a business. It is more about money, with which is difficult for me to reconcile alongside my more caring nature. But unlike others I see in the field who have taken to limiting themselves, I tend to burn myself out by giving too much.

I have a DNR in place, and my brother, formerly my Dad, is my medical proxy. He finally gets to choose whether his big sis lives or dies. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
Nope, I have a plan to check out should the need arise. I have a DNR but those are not fool proof. If I'm suddenly incapacitated and can't physically enact the plan yet still in control of my mind then I'll just refuse to eat/drink. Painful but less than existing in that condition for me and the family.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
Not as long as heroin still exists.

I plan to spend my older years doing phenomenally dangerous shit I can't justify when a bunch of little ones depend on me...and if I fail to kill myself doing that, I reckon I can squeeze out a few more years mooching off of those then-grown kids while distracting their terrible kids with ridiculous lies about all of those adventures.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Yeah, grandads are phenomenal liars. I once asked mine where the wind came from, and he told me, 'The Earth spins around and makes a breeze.' Boru
