It depends if they needed full time care,and whether or not if they were a danger not only to themselves but others.I moved back home(Australia)from over seas to take care of grandmother.
(she is 89).I felt that there was no reason to put her in a nursing home as she is fine(but she finds it very hard to get up and do things).If she got to a point where she became a danger to herself,or to my husband and children,then I would feel as if a nursing home would be better where she could be monitored and cared for 24 hours a day.

Everyone wants to say they would care for their parents themselves, but it is not always possible to do so. Money is a big factor, as sad as it sounds. If you care for your parents at home, and they are not able to take care of themselves, someone has to stop working and care for them full time and that is not always possible with today's economy. Also, there are times that they need more care than you can provide at home, especially if they have to be physically lifted or have things like feeding tubes, IV medications, things of that sort.
My grandmother has been in a nursing home for years and years now, she is 92. I asked her more than once to come and live with me and she always told me straight out that I couldn't pick her up and put her on the potty, things like that. She has MS and has no control of her legs and very weak all over. She is very happy where she is and knowing that makes it easier for all of us.
happy holidays

Man, I think if I had the money and the facility was right, and researched by us, then I think that would be something I would consider, if I talked to my parents about how they felt.
We work full time and I think I always will, and there's no way I could ever stay home and take care of my parents on a daily basis. They would be understanding to that, and I don't expect to do that anytime soon, as my mother is already passed on, and my father still acts like a 'teenager' (sheesh)...

I worry about it every day. My mom told me to put her in a nursing home because she doesn't want me to go through what she went through with my grandmother. My mom took care of my grandmother at home for years and her life become so stressful that she developed shingles. My mom still had to go to work and my grandmother would escape when she was alone and wonder by the road. We couldn't afford a home care person to come to the house when my mom was at work. My mom finally gave in and realized it was much safer for my grandmother to be in a nursing home but my mom visits every day.

Depends on the situation...my dad was depressed living at home after my mom died. He has a multitude of health problems and his doctor suggested a nursing home...dad agreed. Now he goes on outings, has joinned card clubs, been to car shows, cookouts, the zoo...his social life is more active than MINE!!! He loves it there! The important thing is to find a good one and visit often...they also have activities for the whole family to participate in

A couple of years ago we bought the house across from me for Granny. Now Grans is close by and we can go places together and take meals, etc. Since we are Japanese, and have a lot of love for our elders, our plan is for her to remain home. If she really becomes skilled care, then we will have to get assistance in the home for her. Right now she thinks she is the mayor of the street, meeting new pals, and gardening. We are grateful for these happy times together! Best of luck to you!!

I want to care for them at home...
I work at a nursing home and I know they would become extremely depressed in one.

My step father died from advanced cancer at home. My sister & my mother were nursing him for 7 months 24/7. I couldn't help as I live in a different country. No nursing home for my family.
However I wouldn't like for my daughter to care for me if required. I would like professionals to do it.
