[quote=Anonymous]Op, for another point of view. We had been trying to keep my grandparents in their home as long as possible, but they were pretty isolated due to their mobility issues and when they moved to assisted living my grandfather actually flourished. He loved eating meals with others, going to the singalongs, etc etc. Sometimes it can actually be a great thing for people. So don’t be hard on yourself if that is the next step for all of you! Being a caretaker is one of the hardest jobs and you’ve already done more than the vast majority of us. It’s ok to balance both your needs and his. I think we’d allll be a lot better off if all of us accepted that the vast majority of us, if we live that long, will likely need to be in some sort of supportive care setting at some point. It is the reality for most because we are living longer and have more ways to keep people alive from things they would have died from in earlier years. [/quote]
