      I think a lot of this could be solved if old people weren’t so stuck with NEEDING their space to be exactly their space. A lot of them are so inflexible about who they live with. I’ve known so many who live alone in a 3 bedroom house, and they feel lonely, but also refuse to live with anyone else.
