Update on the Old Lady

Against the wishes of everyone my mother-in-law decided to leave the nursing home and came home this past Saturday. She will be under the care of a home health agency and will also have someone visit her daily to check on her and help her with her daily activities.

I’ve offered to stay with her at night but she doesn’t want me to. She asked if I would visit her every Friday from now on so of course I said I would. I do hope she doesn’t ever have to go to the nursing home again. There is no such thing as a “good” nursing home. Nope.

You’re such a kind-hearted person. Yup, don’t leave her in a nursing home.

I agree with the “there is no such thing as a good nursing home” comment. Even the best nursing homes lack the same atmosphere as home.

What a kind-hearted person you are!

I think you do deserve the praise. Too often nowadays the older generation is taken for granted, with no one to look after and care for them so you are setting a fine example.
