As polar ice recedes, I'm getting worried that there won't be a floe for me when I need one.

I get adverts from the cremation society every month or so. Always wondered how I got on that list.
Actually adults of sound mind are allowed to self neglect. The state will not interfere unless you have cognitive issues. Adults get to make their own decisions. Elder abuse social workers intervene if the senior needs protection. It’s a easier job than child protection because of these things.
Yes and no. An adult who self-neglects to the point of physical issues, like malnutrition, can be referred if and when they get into the medical system, such as when EMTs are called. Then social workers intervene, and they don't get to go home. This happened to my parents, so it does happen. Maybe not where you live and practiced, but it did happen to them.
The point I am making is that self-neglect is a form of cognitive distortion, in the eyes of the law.
Tybee, yes you are right and I somehow misinterpreted your other post.
