Where in the world do you live? My 80 year old retired father lives with me in VA.No crystal ball. I see an example of it right now. In the ultra-liberal county where my mother lives, and thus there are all sorts of giveaway policies, the people who never saved enough to pay for assisted living get an upscale new facility, complete with a gorgeous dining room and granite/stainless steel kitchens, pay a pittance to live there. My mother lives across the street in a comfortable but not lavish facility for which she pays 5x as much.
My sister and I joke that once Mom‘s money runs low enough, she can move to an upscale place and live with the other low-income people. Right now she’s too rich to afford it.
