Assisted living

Since the release of this episode of Highway to Heaven, with the increase in the numbers of the American senior population, more families face having to decide whether to provide living arrangements for their seniors in their home or seek outside assisted living. In this episode's scenario, the Husband wants to keep his Father in the home and the Wife doesn't, while citing her increased family burdens. The path to the resolution of this dilemma and the solution itself were surprising and improbable. If it were my call, I would insist that the solution be more comprehensive and that the script be rewritten into 2 parts.
