Hopefully I'll die before I become so disabled that I'd have to be in a home. But if not, my family would take care of me.
And furthermore, people don't go into nursing homes at 50 usually. My dad is almost 60 and is very active, and my mom is over 50 and she works like 80 hours a week almost and loves it!

I am 58 years old so I wouldn't have to wait 50 more years for that time to come. I had my left leg amputated seven years ago and my son and daughter-in-law tried to stop me from going to a nursing home and stay with them I wish that I had listened to them. My family will more than likely take care of me.

I'm real healthy so I won't be in any such home!
I'm 56 and soon to be 57. I'm health thanks to
my being a vegetarian with a proper vegetarian diet and using herbs too! Just minimal allapathy (conventional stuff). Allapathy is most peoples coventional but it is my alternative
when the herbal methods fail me! Which is very
little. I do occasionally use advil!
Buckleys Original is made from Yarrow a herb tastes awful but it works. Yet when Yarrow is fermented it is Root Beer.. my favorite Pop!

Neither.
I live in a community FULL of senior citizens.
I see, everyday, what happens when you grow OLD.
It is NOT pretty!
The reason why all these old people look so bad is a disease that affects all of us, it is called sarcopenia.
There is no cure.
But there is a preventative; daily aerobics, daily stretching, and weightlifting Mon-Wed-Fri.
I started my preventative exercises at age 35. I am now age 54 and I am in better shape than guys who are in their 20's.
I found on the internet a man who is a bodybuilder, Jack LaLanne, at age 90!
I found a female bodybuilder at age 86!
They decided that thru exercise, old, is not getting old!
No nursing home for them. And no nursing home for me, either.

Hopefully, I won't ever need to be in a nursing home. Hopefully, I'll die like my great grandmother....she was 93 and died peacefully in her bed at home.
However, I'm only 17 so I'm not too worried right now.

With Viagra in 50 years I'll still be having sex! Lots of wild, swinging from the chandelier, droopy beer-gut hanging, sex. I'll have whips and chains too. Don’t know for what, but I will.
They will never take me away as long as I can get my diaper up!
What ever that means.

I fully intend to be dead by then.
Also, there are lots of elderly adults who choose not to go into nursing homes. They are completely capable of taking care of themselves and want to keep their independance for as long as possible. Just because you are old doesn't automatically mean that you need someone to care for you.

I will only be 67 which isn't too old so hopefully I won't be in a nursing home.

DON'T THINK I'LL BE HERE IN 50 YEARS. IF I HAVE TO BE IN A NURSING HOME, I HOPE I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM. DON'T HAVE A LOT OF FAMILY, SO THAT'S PROBABLY WHERE I'LL GO.
