Families ask us about cost. About care levels. About whether he can bring his own recliner.
The question almost nobody asks out loud is the one that's actually keeping them up: what would he actually do all day?

Up at five-thirty with coffee if that's his habit, or nine if it isn't. Breakfast from a kitchen down the hall. A dominoes game that's been running three days. Everybody at one table for lunch, telling the same stories twice. Indoors with the fans going through the worst of the afternoon. The porch filling back up when the heat finally lets go. Somebody awake all night, so a bad night is never faced alone.
The part families never see coming is the friendships between the residents. You can visit your father every single day and still not be able to give him a peer — a man his own age who remembers the same music and the same weather. That only comes from living alongside other people.
