I would hate to place my mother in a nursing home but if she could not go to assissted living then yes I would. Last year she had surgery on her foot and I took care of her for 1 week and that was enough for me. It was physically and mentally demanding. We are very different people ( I am messy and she is very neat) and cannot live together for long periods of time. I think she would be happier in assisted living where there would be people her own age.
We are placing my grandmother in a nursing home this week. She was in assisted living but she has alzheimer's and is now at the point where she needs more care. We cannot provide that care, my mother can barely walk as it is, she cannot care for my grandmother on a physical level.
