Lin Wan-i points out that this generation of old folk born before the war have very close connections with their families and locale, and very few of them have had much experience with leaving their hometown to work or study or living away from their families. Few can accept the idea of leaving their families for institutional care.
林萬億指出，戰前出生的這一代老人與家人、土地關係都非常密切，很少具有離鄉背井，出外打拚、就學等不與家人同住的經驗，對於離開家到機構安養，多半不太能接受。
