Are there more women in nursing homes than men ?

Women live, on average, 7 years longer than men. Add that to the fact that most men are older than their wives, that means they get to stay home and have their wife take care of them, but when it's her turn, there is nobody to take care of her, so she ends up in a nursing home.

Women, like hens, wish to flock together. Men prefer to crawl away alone, in some hole to die.
