[quote=Anonymous]OP I am sorry so many of the posts are so harsh. It's important to realize that old people fall. What keeps them from falling in a nursing home environment is drugging them up and/or tying them down. My mother had in-home care where we basically paid someone to follow her around 24-7 to catch her when she fell. And she still fell. Quality of life is more important than duration of life at this point IMO. Whatever you decide, do not sign up for a monthly expenditure under the assumption that she will only live for a few years. You never know. Both my parents and my MIL lived to their mid-90s. [/quote]
