End of life, but which is better ？

I've heard that in the U.S. it's hard to have that kind of money, that you need more than $1 million over 10 years to be miserable in a nursing home. So if you move in when you are in your 70s and live to be 90, you would need $2 million.
On the other hand, in Japan, if you have 50 million yen for 10 years, they will take care of you in a decent place. 100 million yen for 20 years.

The current view is to be based in the U.S. until you have some freedom to move around, and then sell to Japan.

The food would be better than the US facility, and since all the kids are back in Japan, they would come to see us once in a while.
What do you all think?

I retired at 55. I will receive a pension from Japan starting next month and from the U.S. next year I will receive a pension from the U.S. I am 61 years old.
90% of my assets are in the US. I have a residence in Japan and live in both.

What are your candid thoughts?

20 You must be living in a low-income category. You must be in a similar position because you seem to write a lot of posts slandering only low income people.

The neighbor's garden must look beautiful.
Japanese who live in foreign countries look to Japan, but
Japanese who live in Japan look to foreign countries.

If you take 300,000 Japanese yen to a country in Southeast Asia where it costs about 1,000,000 yen,
you will find that you can live more prosperously.

American nursing homes, really clerical and without warmth. It's all superficial. Especially these days, there are many H-types and they are talking from the top, which is scary. The reality is that the bedridden people only come to see them a few times a day if they don't have medicine. Volunteers come and talk to them.
I did it after they cut my ticket. It is a good social lesson. One locker all property, 6 people in a room, it's hard if you can't get along. I hope it's not cognitive, but if it is, it might be the way they treat things.

#American nursing homes, real clerical, no warmth.
What do you expect?

Even if you expect heartfelt hospitality in a nursing home.

If you stay in a hotel or ryokan, you are a guest
and can expect heartfelt hospitality.

＞ In my old age, I will spend my time in Japan, bathing in hot springs and eating delicious food


This is only until I am physically and mentally healthy.

Imagine the second half of your old age.

Well, by then you won't even know where you are or who is nearby and what they are talking about.

Residents of nursing homes are customers too, in a sense.
Unless it's Medicare or some other insurance, then yes, but they should be treated equally. I don't expect anything. It means that when I volunteered, that was the reality. The nurses probably know best to ignore the elderly who reach out and complain every day because they want to be left alone for no reason. A family member or friend would have dealt with it. But it was family that put him there, too.
If they don't know why anymore, and if they get dementia, it's a profitable thing, and they don't even know, so they won't be bothered.
