When my parents started to get passed their 60's I knew it was time to make a decision on how we were going to provide care for them. I promised them when I was little that I would provide for them and make sure they would always be taken care of when the right time came.
I started looking at respectable nursing homes close to my home and checked out their surroundings and took a few tours to see if they fit my parents needs. I also checked with my parents doctor to see if they needed anything specific for their care to make sure the nursing home can accomidate all the medical care they might need.
We also sat down and looked at if we can provide the proper care from our own home. We wanted to make sure that we could provide the love and companionship they needed to make sure they felt comfortable with living with us. We also took into account the special diets and the type of cleaning service we would have to get to make sure the house was constantly kept clean.
It takes much time when you are trying to think of the best options for caring for elderly parents at home. But in the end it seems like the right thing to do. You still have them constantly in your life and they are happy with having company.
