Hat Tip: my brother Sandy in an e-mail....sorry, I don't know who this originated with so as to give full credit for that person.
Determining When An Elderly Person Needs Assisted Living:
During a visit to the doctor of an assisted living facility, a man inquired, "How do you determine whether or not an elderly person should be put in an assisted living home?"
"Oh, I understand," he said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No" he said. "A normal person would pull the plug.”
Determining When An Elderly Person Needs Assisted Living:
During a visit to the doctor of an assisted living facility, a man inquired, "How do you determine whether or not an elderly person should be put in an assisted living home?"
"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub with water and then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the elderly person to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," he said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No" he said. "A normal person would pull the plug.”
Now, would you like a room with a bed near or away from the window?

Oh, and this little nugget about when our wonderful Mom [who was 85 years old at the time] was in an assisted living facility. After she was there a few months, we asked our Mom, "Reenie", how she liked it there. Mom said, "it's okay, but there's too many old people here."
