My father died at home at age 52, my mother cared for him and worked full time. She didn’t deserve to die alone in a nursing home.
One of the things that makes me crazy is when people get their parents money transferred out of their name (can’t remember what this is called) and make them indigent so they can go into a state nursing home. IF I were going to have to put someone in a facility I would be darned sure I afforded the very best I could.
