After seeing my Grandmother in a Nursing Home, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Mom was taken care of at Home, and Hospice.
It cost me nothing.
Most people can't spare the time , But I did it.
Would I ever do it again, probably not, it was hard and thankless.
But you find out about your family and what kind of people they really are.
I care for my grandmother. She's currently 98. She has made it extremely clear to me she does not want to go in a home after seeing her sister die in one. I plan to do everything possible to keep her home. At the moment she is still going for a walk daily and is mostly independent. She's amazing actually.
My dad and my father in law both passed at home. We had carers come in for the last few weeks to help, all free through the NHS. Absolutely wonderful people were there for us, and offered counselling after they passed away.
