Will you be sticking your parents in an old folks home later in life?




Now that you see how deadly long term care homes are, will anybody here actually be sticking their parents to one?

I'm the youngest of 4 and the most introverted. If she lives with someone, I'm probably last in line. We always get along but I just don't feel like I'm the best choice. If she lives with any of the other 3, she gets to see some of her grandchildren more often. I wouldn't refuse tho.

Yes. If you need babysitting 24/7 I cant provide that I gotta work. Besides they chose to have kids - I didnt choose to have the responsibility to babysit elderly people. I'm not doin that

It's crazy how little thought and care some people put into where their parents end up. But there are also those parents that spent their whole life trying to force their failings onto their kids or physically abused them. Those ones are just getting what they earned.

I already told my grandmother that my home is available if she can't live independently. My mom would get the same treatment. I'm not sure how it would work out with my dad since he's in another state, but I do what I can to help him.

long term care = elderly prison (no offense to all).
it's how i view that.

some people don't have a choice but it's the best option for some (if don't have the time).

I laugh at the young people who think they might have a choice. When your older relative becomes violent, can no longer feed themselves, consistently tries to run away, or can't use the bathroom alone then sometimes you don't have a choice. Hell, most of the time you don't have a choice.

Just goes to show a lot of CE isn't quite in touch with reality.

me or one of my siblings will care for my mom when that time comes. No intention of ever putting her in a home.

She's still somewhat self-sufficient but I've been increasingly taking care of my mom for a couple of years now and will probably be wiping her butt soon. I couldn't bring myself to put her in a home.

My mom is already dead and my dad probably will stay in good condition to be able to take care of himself.
