Its that whole cirlce of life thing, they raise you and now its your turn to take care of them no matter what.
Any opinions?

I am my mother's only child - reared by my grandparents. My mom and I have briefly talked about this. She has some insurance that would pay for nursing home costs if it came to that. She doesn't have a problem going to a home, if necessary, but I don't think I would feel right allowing her to go to a nursing home; only if for some reason I was not able to handle her care. I would definitely look into private nurses coming to my home if I brought her to live with me (she's in MD, I'm in FL). I've thought about this, and I hope it doesn't come to that point. Right now, she's very healthy, but sometimes you never know what could happen.
