Personally, I don't think it's a bad idea to go to a nursing home. Children are not always able to take care of their parents. There are several factors involved that can complicate the situation. I myself can't imagine my boys taking care of me. What I find sad about nursing homes is the abandonment. Family and friends who don't visit.
hansora:I think that way too. Nursing homes usually have medical assistance, something that a usual house lacks. But, here, it's quite taboo if we mention about sending our parents to nursing homes, because it usually relates to the elderly being abandoned by their children. It only gets better in recent years, when people are becoming more understanding and open to the idea. The elders that I know said it's better to stay there because they have friends of the same age instead of staying alone at their homes or children's homes when they are out working
