[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother would never allow us to put her or our father in a nursing home. She's seen too many of her friends die within a few months of being moved there that she's biased against all nursing homes. The really good ones are very expensive and if you don't have a family member visiting regularly and talking to the nurses and caretakers you may end up with poorer care than someone who's family is very involved. I understand your mother's point of view.[/quote]

But the mother is there and could visit daily (as well as the mother's siblings) and be very involved in their care. She just does not want to consider it.

Have you done it.   I visit my mil1-2 times a week.  It is depressing.  The basic care is good but she mainly sits around with people much worse than her.  It is 30 minutes away so round trip plus visits it is usually an all day event.    The food sucks, mostly shared rooms with no good place to visit, overworked staff, showers twice a week, etc.  you make it sound great.   [/quote]
