Many in survey would choose death over moving to a nursing home.
A new survey reveals that 61% of Americans would rather pass away than go to a nursing home, according to Financial Advisor in "Older Americans Would Rather Die Than Live In a Nursing Home."
It is an issue for elderly people who might have no choice but to go to a nursing home.
It also creates challenges for family members who act as caregivers for the elderly, since they will want to be even more careful than usual when it is time to suggest that a loved one needs nursing home care.
It also creates a problem for nursing homes, since they need to look for ways to improve their reputation.
That could mean that they need to offer more care which costs money, which would be a challenge to nursing homes and the government.
