[quote=Anonymous]After visiting my aunt in a nursing home over the last 2 years, I never want to be in one. It’s no life. My 80 yo dad feels similarly and I would do anything to keep him out of one. He has made plans to age in place. If that is not an option, perhaps your mom would be more open to moving to independent living or assisted living should she need it. I have healthcare POA for loved ones and I will always honor my family members wishes. If you can assure your mom you will do the same, it might help. Make it clear a nursing home would absolutely be a last resort (for example advanced dementia). [/quote]
