Boggles the mind how the relatives of people in nursing homes haven’t gotten them out. It’s like they want grandma to die for her money.

They’re usually in a nursing home either because they are way too difficult to take care of at home or because there is absolutely no one to take care of them at home. And/or it’s too expensive to have round-the-clock home care.

Some members of my family paid caretakers a small fortune for several years to avoid sending my father to a nursing home. Not everyone can do that. They decided to do it when he fell during the night living by himself and hit his head on a wall and then drove himself to the ER. The nurses were like “How did you get here?” as this little 90-year-old walks in.

Well as I see it you’ve got to think and plan ahead as best you know how. When the Governors say they might do this or that I plan according to it actually happening.

I’ve decided not to go shopping during the “Senior” shopping hours because they’re ‘more likely’ to come down with the virus......Instead I check parking lots before I go in to get an idea of how many people might be inside....then I avoid aisle with people which actually makes for interesting shopping.....like trying to dodge potentially armed shooters!

Yeah, we should get our parents where they can get infected by their grandkids!
Other factors too. My mom loves it there. My rich (and good and beloved by her) brother tried to talk her out and couldn’t.
