Someone has opened a small senior daycare home in the neighborhood. The seniors stay here during the day and are picked up by their families in the evening.
Look, Big Brother! There are so many grandpas and grandmas in the window on the first floor! What are they doing?
They’re having lunch. This is the senior care home that just opened in our neighborhood. It’s just an ordinary apartment.
What is a senior care home? Is it like kindergarten for grandpas and grandmas?
Pretty much. Their children have to work during the day, so they bring the seniors here in the morning. There’s a lady here who cooks for them and keeps them company.
What about at night? Do they sleep here too?
No, they don’t. When their children get off work, they come pick them up and take them home—just like Mom comes to pick you up from kindergarten.
Why don’t they go to a big senior care home? There are more people there, so it must be more fun.
The big senior care homes are all far away. Many seniors don’t want to go because they wouldn’t feel comfortable living there. This one only takes six seniors, so the lady can look after them all, and it’s just a short walk home.
I get it! When Dad and Mom are old, I’ll come pick them up here after work every day, too, and then take them out for something delicious.
