[quote=Anonymous]If you want to maximize drawing breath on this planet, you end up in a skilled nursing home if you need complex care. My mother was on the road to death living at home and yes relying on 911 and generally not being properly cared for as it's impossible to do so in that situation. It was lurching from crisis to crisis and sure she went out and saw doctors and people came in at various times but she was deteriorating. Due to our family situation, she was essentially forced into a nursing home and did not want to go. She prioritized independence at home. She is 87 and looks better than she's looked in a decade at the nursing home. They sincerely brought her back to life and she's chugging along. Their option is to get into a group care setting of some sort where their medical issues will be dealt with proactively and promptly. Doing what they are doing at home, they will die sooner. Lay it out for them. It's their choice.[/quote]
