@user5934260036252: We would have kept him at home except for he kept locking himself outside in the winter and kept getting up at night and would urinate all over the house. The stress of him being without my mom led to him having a stroke and he died after only a few months being there. RIP dad ❤️🙏 😪 #dragpath #grief #death #missyou #loveyou #trending #foryoupage #fyp
The nursing home we placed my dad with Alzheimer’s in closed the very next day for Covid. I never saw him again 😭 I pray he knows we didn’t abandon him there.

Anyone who doesn’t understand why they would make this decision please feel blessed that you have yet to be put in a situation where you’d have to make this decision.

My dad told me he doesn't want to go to a nursing home last night. I said, "No chance, Dad." He's been in it for seven years.

People in these comments not understanding that people who suffer from Alzheimer’s need 24/7 care is my 13th reason

We had to do this to my dad. When we go visit him he always tries to go with us. It hurts every time

my grandma had dementia and the only thing keeping her grounded to reality was her Jack Russell terrier named Scooby. My mom searched for housing that allowed dogs and that helped get her settled, but when Scooby passed she deteriorated so fast 😔

I need everyone to look at this picture and realize that untrained family members are physically and mentally not capable of caring for someone with Alzheimer’s when it becomes too severe.

nursing homes arnt bad it's the lack of visitors helping that makes them worse. we have a flawed system everyone knows this but those who are capable choose not to come and help.

I used to judge people who put their families in long term care, until I needed to make that terrible decision. I’m sorry.

People would never understand until they themselves experienced doing geriatic care.

people saying this is mean or sad clearly do not have (grand)parents who just cannot safely live any place else anymore, nursing homes exist for a reason

I didn't have my children so they could waste they're lives looking after me. I have made it very clear when I am older if I can't care for myself, that I go into a home. I want my kids to have an amazing life.

As someome who has worked in many memory care facilities, these comments disgust me. Patients with dementia lose the ability to eat, to go to the restroom, to get dressed, they can't recognize themselves in the mirror. They wander off and get lost, they put themselves in danger. I work in a place where we need to keep all memory care residents behind locked doors with a code, or they'd try and escape and get hurt. We cant give them forks or knives, they get angry, have hallucinations. How can a family member without training care for them properly? I work 8 hours a day doing this, I couldn't do it 24/7 and not get paid, and have no income

The absolute worst feeling in the world, walking away from them in the home. I remember grandma begging to come home every single visit and it crushed me. 😔

My great grandma. Unfortunately covid hit and I never got to see her again in the nursing home before she passed. I hope she thinks of me 🫶🏼

this is deadass one of my biggest fears in life. getting dementia and being thrown into a home where my family slowly forgets about me as im trapped in a prison of my own mind until my feeble body gives out
