[quote=Anonymous]Nursing home with regular visits from family (and friends if they have friends who are still mobile). My mother had to make this decision for her mother - who was an amazingly cheerful and positive person even into her 90s - and there was no way having her at home with my parents would have been tenable. My mother visited my grandmother almost every day, kept her socialized, took her to appointments, and no doubt was the sole reason she lived until 92. However, I think that the stress of the 6 or so years that my mom was intimately involved in my grandmother’s care took a toll on her own health. My mom, who is a busy, active person, seems noticeably older. It’s just so hard. I can’t imagine if she had been at home with my parents full time. Wishing you peace in your decision.[/quote]
