It does make sense, that the the waiting list for a rest home bed would be prioritised for villagers. The wait for a standard rest home bed as opposed to a premium rest home suite may be a bit longer perhaps. That is just supposition on my part - I have no idea. It could be frustrating for non-villagers on the waiting list, especially in the scenario where rest homes are increasingly provided in villages.
Dementia care is another kettle of fish and very challenging for all. Let's hope that recent Alzheimer's breakthrough leads to further treatments.

Again, this is guesswork, I imagine OCA would retain those standard, government subsidised beds, for those who do not have the financial means to pay for care. Someone coming from a unit or apartment, would probably choose to move to a care suite at that point, for continuity of care without having to move again (excluding dementia scenario).
Yep, dementia is an absolute bitch. The future need for dedicated dementia care facilities, is going to be mind blowing.
Dementia is my greatest fear as I get older.
One could also expand euthanasia to include longer term degenerative conditions (assuming appropriate safegaurds).
Or cure it (hard ask with overly restrictive FDA regulations).
Here's a 2005 example where a panel of doctors approve a voluntary euthanasia request for Alzhiemers disease so there is a precedent.

I hope you are still able to realise that this is the OCA thread? Alzheimer is a bitch.
It is dangerous to throw stones when you are sitting in a glass house. You never know who is reading this. Just hope, they never apply this to you when its your turn :scared:
Dad had dementia and was a lifelong supporter of euthanasia. He would have been very keen to have that option.
