How to Know if an Old Person Should be put in a Home?

During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine whether or not an older person should be put in an old age home?"
 
"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub."
 
"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
 
"No" he said. "A normal person! would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"
