would you leave mom and dad to home for the aged

no no.. i wont leave them, i have many plans.. they want to feel lik heaven, i ll send them to all tourist places in the world, they want to enjoy this world.. always they want to smile.. they suffered alot in their young age.. so at least now they want to enjoy

I will never ever leave my mother and father anywhere else especially to a home for the aged place. I don't think that home for the aged is really a home for them because I think, old people needs more attention, joy and love from their children. I think that's the true meaning of home. This is the only way that at least I can return back their love and sacrifice for me. I told myself long before that when my parents grew older, I will see to it that they will feel love and belongingness. I will also see to it that they will never feel that they non-functional at all.

I'd like to think if I had to choice, I Would choose not too. I wouldn't know until it got to that point though. I know for a fact, I'd TRY To keep them as long as I could. If I Had to quit my job to be with them 24 hours a day, I don't think I'd be able too, because without money, I wouldn't be able to take care of them, or myself, the way I would need too.

well it depends on what is wrong with them. my father in law suffers from altzheimers and eventually his family will not be able to take care of him. these homes are not that bad here in canada, they do have regulations.

Definitely not...

It is easier said than done. My mother was lucky as her eldest son's family settled with her. But these days children leave the shores seeking greener pastures and in that eventuality how is it possible to care for the aged parents? Also there are so many things children cannot do for parents much as they would like to. If they are bedridden and the son or daughter are not at home but are at work and there are no maids available what will be the plight?

No I wouldn't, as much as I could, as long as I could - I'll try to take care of them myself, maybe with the help of my sister and other relatives, or hire someone to help around at home - but not leave them to stay in the home for the aged. I just hope I'll be able to afford all their health expenses and everything that needs to paid for.

I would try to keep my mum in her own home even if i had to sacrifice alot of things as i know that she would hate living in a place like that.I think that until she needs nursing care i would try my hardest to help her as that way she will at least have people around her that she knows aswell as she will still have all her personal things around her aswell as you can only take a few of your personal things to a care home.

I would not, even for the world! They cared for me until what I am now and I love them that it breaks my heart when I've given them problems.
