Very sad story. I pray to God I never have to be put into such a place.
My mother used to always tell her kids that she would come back to haunt us if we ever put her in a home. We had to put her in a rehab center after she broke her hip. They were all elderly there, and it just killed us even though she was there for only about a month. We arranged our schedules so that one of us was with her almost all of the time from 8 am to 8 pm.
Most of the help there was not at all impressive. Plus they had male nurses taking care of the elderly women, and we girls did not like that at all.
After she got out, we sisters took turns going to her house to care for her for about 10 months until she passed away.

I hope and pray I can give that to my Mother and Aunt. I will do everything in my power to do this. It is sad to think about, I can’t imagine my Mother anything but the toughest—I’ve known nothing or anyone stronger than my mother. God bless you and yours.
