My sister and I have been talking about whether to put Mom into a nursing home or an assisted living home. I think that all she needs is a place that can give her a little bit of help when she needs it, but that she can live independently. So I’m voting for assisted living. My sister, on the other hand, thinks that she needs round-the-clock care, so she’s pushing for a nursing home. Mom wants to stay in her home and not go anywhere. I can’t blame her for that, but we’re afraid that she is going to hurt herself by accident. Getting old is not for sissies!
