TopicDo you think you would ever put your parents in a nursing home?

Assuming they deteriorate to the point that they can't live by themselves, maybe. I know that my grandma lived with my aunt for some years (before going back to living independently?) and then lived with another aunt afterward before finally winding up in a home. Quite honestly, I doubt I'd be able to provide the level of care that either parent might need, and it would generally be a bad living situation *unless* I had young kids or something that they could watch while I was at work, although even then that's not a permanent solution.

I will note that I have a friend whose grandma has a lot of family in the area so everybody kinda takes turns watching her, etc, which I suppose is a decent enough solution unless there's a larger medical need.

Saw a story in my local news about great physical abuse going on in a local nursing home


Curious choice of words.
