My grandmother took care of my Great grandmother and my mother took care of my grandmother until she passed . Nana Johnson (great grandmother) lived to 102 and Nana Burrel (grandmother) lived to 98...I will take my Mother in when it’s time.....this is how it is supposed to be and it should done whenever possible.....also their should be an old age home in every town “funded” by the town not the fed’s ...we used to have them for those without family or destitute....now big corporations suck the population dry and pay the true staffers peanuts.....no one to blame but the selfish bitches and bastards that will not take in family as far as I’m concerned.
>> selfish bitches and bastards that will not take in family
There is the occasional elderly stubborn loved one that absolutely refuses to be “taken in”. Just sayin’.
One nursing home was very nice until big corporate took it over. Then it was awful.
My friend helped open it and after they took over she had to quit because the care went down so much.
That was my moms first.
I had someone tell me that one of the patients was just sitting and drooling and the aid was sitting in her recliner and eating her food.
The director was told about it and the aid was reprimanded and still there.
One that I complained about I was told was let go.
If you put your folks in these places, go everyday and protect them and don’t feel reluctant about getting in the directors faces.
These places need to be cleaned up.
