What Would You Do?
I did a search and saw this topic in the Chit Chat forum, but wanted to bring it to AKA blvd because this almost seems to be a taboo subject among African Americans. I've seen where many of us have done volunteer work in nursing homes, but I want to touch a more personal note.
Have you had to place a loved one in a nursing home? If so, what was the experience like and can you offer any advice that could help others that may be in this situation?
Under what conditions would you ever place a loved one in a nursing home?
Under what conditions would you want your family to place you in a nursing home - and if none - what steps are you taking while you are young to make sure this doesn't happen?
I have my own thoughts and experiences, that I'll share later so that the discussion will not be swayed.
