How do people without children do when they’re old ?

Like how do you do when you’re old and sick if your children can’t take care of you ?

Depends on how much you need to be taken care of. Even if you have children and you need to be taken care of 24/7, your children more than likely won't have the capacity and time and attention to take care of you, so you will end up in a nursing home. If you don't need that much attention and time , then even your friends can take care of you, or you can probably pay people money to check on you and help you with stuff.

So if you are really sick regardless you have children or not, you will probably end up in a nursing home, if you are not that sick, then your children can take care of you or if you don't have children your friends can help you, or your other familiy members if you have, or  you can buy people who can help you.

There are a number of options available for individuals who are unable to rely on their children to take care of them as they age or become sick. One option is to seek out professional in-home care services, which can provide assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and medication management. Another option is to consider moving to an assisted living facility or nursing home, which can provide a higher level of care and support. In some cases, it may be possible to receive financial assistance to help cover the cost of these types of care options. It's also important to consider advanced care planning, which involves making decisions about your healthcare and end-of-life care in advance and communicating those wishes to your loved ones and healthcare providers. This can help ensure that your needs and preferences are known and respected if you are unable to make decisions for yourself due to illness or disability.
