Why is it so taboo for some? My maternal grandmother sworn that she would never forgive us if we put her in a nursing home. However, she's never really told us why. I've volunteered at a nursing home once or twice and I had an aunt who was moved to a nursing home before she died of a brain tumor. I don't see what's so bad about them. I could see how it would be AWFUL for a young person to go, since there are so many old people there, but otherwise I don't understand. Is there something i'm missing? Please excuse my ignorance.
