Idk where you’re living and what temps you are experiencing, but I would get one that doesn’t have a main focus on “mesh windows and open feel”
I know they have a way to seal all of those “windows”, but I have been camping and if those flaps are letting any air in at all, you will be cold unless you tarp the top as well.
If it’s just you, I would get a single person tent. Much easier to set up and put away, and it’s cozier for heat/warmth.
I’m sorry you’re going through this. 🫂

Are you going to camp someplace permanently? The huge tents only work if you can! Smaller is way easier if you will be moving around!
Also, you can keep a dome tent for two people warm with body heat, even by yourself, and you can put a decent bed or cot in there and blankets and a sleeping bag, and you can place your nighttime portable toilet at the entry.
The tents you showed probably need two people just to put them up - people in good shape! You could save a lot of effort with a two man pop up tent. Home and dry in sixty seconds!

Are you living in a snow covered state or nah? If you're not you might wanna consider going to a warm state, cause you can freeze to death in snow, in Cali you can get general relief money for like 6 months & food stamps.

Being outside in freezing condition can be brutal, if you have nothing to lose why not try California or Florida?

Is this a serious question?
Or some sort of bizarre advertisement for family-holiday tents whose low prices for large sizes suggest low quality?
The reason you give don't seem very credible anyway. Are you a nursing-home resident by illness meaning you cannot live on your own, or as a live-in member of staff?
If as a patient, living in a tent is the worst thing you could do. Especially a tent too large for one person to use safely. If resident carer, have no literally no home to go to?
Where are you going to use it? Those tents are for use on regular camp-sites.
NONE of those tents you show are suitable for one person alone in poor weather, even a young, fit healthy one.
1) They are not readily portable: you can carry them only in a car.
2) They need at least two, even three or four, people to erect.
3) They are all far too large for your suggested purpose. (Why that one claimed to accommodate 10 people?)
4) They will be very cold at night, worse still in cold weather; so you would also need proper-quality camping-mattress and sleeping-bag. If they don't have inners they will be even worse, and damp.
5) I doubt their ability to withstand severe weather. Tents like that are made solely for families or groups of friends using regular camp sites on a Summer holiday.
6) What other equipment will you need - have you considered that? How are you going to carry it all around?
.......
So the simple answer: clearly lacking camping experience, you ask about tents totally wrong for you in the situation you state. You need proper accommodation.

How can you survive going from a nursing home to living in a tent on the streets during the winter?
Werewolf1994 · 31-35, F
@cherokeepatti Easy just find A walmart or something to hang out in during the day and at night start a fire or warming shelter

They can't kick you out of a nursing home onto the Street. Talk to a lawyer
