I don't know Sally because dreams are a portal to things that may come to pass....... or NOT!

As real as they feel in every respect, I place no really value in the aspects of foretelling events, yet I believe the might be an outlet for our inner most anxieties and fears because the conscious mind is turned off during sleep allowing the subconscious full control.

With the number and mixture of medications we are on, I'm surprised more of us don't have really off-the-wall dreams covering good to awful experiences. I only occasionally dream that I might remember and have had serious hallucinations and dreaming due to a bad combination of meds one time.

Sally, as well adjusted and balanced as "I" believe you are, I'm sure your dream was a combination of meds and inner anxiety over a viable fear of being placed in a nursing home. I am assuming a "nursing home," versus an "assisted living community" correct? Big difference.
