I would never place a family member in a nursing home. If I had to, I would hire a live-in nurse before I would place a family member in a nursing home. Nursing home is not an option. I feel like, older family members did all that they could to care for me, so it is my obligation to care for them when they are no longer able to do it for themselves. Of course, some medical conditions require the expertise of nursing staff that is why I would hire an in-home nurse. But to place a family member in a nursing home would feel like shoving off my duty to them to someone else. I's rather have my loved one with me in my home where I can be certain that they are taken care of. Nobody is going to take care of them the way I would as a loved one.
