Assuming they have children and assuming said children, if they
exist, are less infirm than their parents.

300 miles as was the case for me.

And have the neighbours arms and legs dropped off?

This is probably a sad reflection on todays society. People just

nearby, we only ever saw 4 or 5 of those households and only really
spoke to 2 or 3.
