If a person in early 70's lives alone and is unfriended and then there is a moderate to severe stroke, where does that person usually live? nursing home?

Yes: If the person becomes unable to function independently and has no designated person that would be able to take care of him or her at home, either a nursing facility or a hospice home remain options depending on local availability and regulations.
