She is correct. But one thing I do understand. Growing old and growing feeble is not an easy thing. The parent, once a caregiver, and independent person, become the receiver of care and loses the independence of health. The child becomes the parent to the parent, and that is a difficult thing.
Nursing homes play a very major role in the lives of families with aged, and infirmed parents.
The care they give, both emotionally and physically, is a critical factor for patient and family members alike. The attitudes of the staff. We work in their home. This attitude is evident and makes a real difference. It takes great patience and a good sense of humor to work in a nursing home facility.
