Nowadays some older people choose to live in retirement communities and centers
with other people, rather than living with their adult children.
Is this a positive or negative development?
In a world dominated by shifting social norms and cultural values, it has become increasingly common for seniors to opt for retirement communities as opposed to staying with their family members, particularly in Western communities. While there are clear benefits to living in such places associated with social engagement, I believe that it poses more serious challenges in terms of emotional well-being.
