Finally moving Mom & step-dad to assisted living facility

[applegrove]

5. We kept my mom and dad at their apartment long after my mom

should have been in a nursing home. After mom passed away we moved dad to a nursing home and he liked it. All the problems we had struggled to handle with both and with private nursing care were already solved. Tell your mom that my grandmother had to go into a nursing home at 82 and lived there till she was 103. Twenty one years. She did crafts and listened to public radio and was still an important part of our lives. She visited us for dinner for 17 of those years. Sometimes old people think a nursing home is an immediate death sentence and it is not. You can get whatever level of health interventions you want.
