When you parents become too old, would you send them into "Home for the Ages"?

I would never do this unless it was something they really wanted for themselves as there are people who really enjoy staying in a home as they feel they are not dependent on their children but I would never send either of my parents or my husband's parents to a home unless they expressed this as their wishes as in my opinion , my parents were there for me when I was younger and this would be the least I could do for them in their old age .

In modern country it is really happend but in my country (Indonesia) it is not common to do that. Here my father and my mother do not like to stay in that home. they would like to stay around their big family. Even sometimes make any problem for the new generation but we are here understand too old means equals to baby. So always patient to serve them.

It depends on circumstances sometimes the elderly can become too hard to look after for their own safett and for the sanity of the people looking after them, it is better at times for for them to be somewhere where there is people specially trained for their conditions....

No, I would never put my parents in a nursing home or anywhere else. I would let them stay with me. If they were really old and sick, I would find a way to hire a nurse. My dad was the guardian of my grandmother and my great aunt when I was little, and I grew up spending weekends in nursing homes. I was always grossed out by the smell... a mixture of urine and disinfectant... and it also seemed sad to me that all these people were sort of locked up in there. And the staff members were often rude. My grandmother was in a place in Waucanda, and we later learned that the staff was abusing and neglecting the people there, and stealing from them, and everything else. So based on my own traumatizing childhood experiences of nursing homes, I would never be able to put my parents in one.
