In Reply to: Has anyone here had the painful problem of having to place their parent in a nursing home? SM - Cyndiee
She had a series of small strokes that became progressively more debilitating. My kids and I took care of her at home during the last 2 years of her life, but a couple of times she had to be taken to the hospital and then transferred to a nursing home for several months afterwards. One of the facilities was great, but the second one wasn't. I advise anyone contemplating placing their parent in one to research each facility thoroughly. Sometimes this is really the best choice for everyone involved, and the bottom line is that you want your mother to be safe. Good luck to you.
