4. My dad hated going to assisted living

Fought us every step of the way, finally convinced him because Mom needed the care (she acknowledged this and didn’t fight it). Kept saying he was going home. And it mostly fell on me as my brother lives 3 hours away. It was horrible but I know it was the right thing to do; they weren’t eating right at home, he had some bad falls and he should have stopped driving long before he did. In assisted living they get good food and supervised medication among other things. It’s the right thing to do.
