[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I haven't read everything here. What I remember is: your Brother has found a place and thinks it's a good idea.

If he can get them there - you stay out of it. He's the one with "boots on the ground". Don't become a sounding board for all your parents worries, hesitations, you'll only add to inaction. [/quote]

OP here.  I too have boots on the ground.  I do not live here but I've been here at their house for 3 weeks since Covid hit them and likely another 2-3 weeks till we get things done.  I'm here for my parents and for my brother who needs help with them so that he can get solid sleep and work full time.  Our other brother told me about this particular nursing home and I was the first one to visit it and make followup calls.  I've coordinated the home health aides, palliative care consult, insurance questions, prescription refills, calls to their multiple doctors for various reasons, calls to lawyers, doctor visits this week and next which I will be taking them to via wheelchair.  This was the first year I spent Christmas without my own nuclear family.  They needed to be with my husband's parents and I needed to be with mine.  This was my family's choice and we all understood why it needed to be done but it was not fun.  So you can bet I'm staying in it for my parents' sake.     [/quote]
