[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think traditional Asian families tend to care for their elderly parents at home, if at all possible. It seems only Americans are eager to quickly find ‘a place for mom’ institution. Unless absolutely necessary, the American way is tragic.[/quote] Ugh, don’t fall for the myth that home is always better than being in a facility. I’m in lots of family caregiver groups and the stress and resentment towards parents is so high. And many of the children caregivers are late 50’s to well into their 60’s. They have their own health issues. And many are worried they are going to die before their parents because of the stress and no time to take care of their own health. [/quote]
