I visited nursing homes with my Zulu dog when she was alive, and many of those old folks had no one visiting. We didn't send our grandparents to nursing homes, we cared for them at home till the end. It is no small concern that I may not have anyone to do that for us. It isn't the task usually accepted by nieces and nephews.

We didn't like sending her there. She needed nursing type people around 24/7 and we tried to have in-home care as much as possible.
