I am so sorry Luce, this must be a tough time for your family. I have already discussed with my Mom about her care in the event that she can't look after herself, I have also discussed same with my kids. As sad as this conversation is I wish more families talked before the time came for one of them to be put in a home. All the necessary decision and input would then be made by everybody and when the day came it would be done as pre-planned. It is such a personal decission, but from my own perpective I know that I would feel much better if my Mom was taken care by competent people 24/7, if I was working I would not be able to do this, and in my situation now I am taking care of my special needs, how could I care for her and myself when the time came? We all need security and dignity, for your parents and you it could become an unmanagable nightmare. My hart is with you.
