[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who asks this has clearly not had an elderly parent or family member and has not spent time in one. Nursing homes are even worse.[/quote] My experience is they are a godsend and your loved one can start to perk up with the social activities and peer interaction. OP is on the mark. Rotting at home with a revolving door of caregivers, plenty of no-shows, loneliness and items going missing is not "goals" nor is giving your adult children a nervous breakdown as they try to manage your care and their own children.[/quote]
