When you check a Loved One into a nursing home, be sure you have a lawyer read the contracts. Because in some states that means you and your Loved One GAVE UP their rights. And wounds go untreated..gangrene or sepsis sets in, broken hips from falls, turn into pneumonia and patients don't make it back to the nursing home. Or you get the Terri Shivo type cases. Have a living will, give it to several people you can trust, and make sure your doctor has a copy of YOUR wishes. And be careful to whom you give a LIMITED Power of Attorney.
