English term or phrase: you wouldn’t be living on your own.
Testo teatrale americano (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Dialogo tra un ospite e un'assistente di una casa di riposo, che è anche figlia dell'uomo.

A: I’m looking out for you, Dad. That’s why I moved you in here. So you wouldn’t be living on your own.
B:: I was doing just fine on my own.

La mia proposta:

A: Sto attenta a te, papà. È la ragione per cui ti ho fatto trasferire qui. Così non vivi più da solo.

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie.
