Hi @TAB

That's best for people who are frail-aged - my parents went into care together though I am sure my mother didn't need to but she really dropped her bundle when Dad died

Anyway - I once overheard a conversation a doctor was having with his patient whose father had gone into a Nursing Home and the doctor said something like - "It's really rough for you and other members of your family but your Dad mightn't understand much"

Anyway - Dad had to into a Nursing Home right at the end - he had lost his sight and his short term memory and it was too much for Mum and the staff where she was in care - and I would have loved to take Dad home myself but alas - I couldn't have managed in my place which is so small and also - Dad was a big man

Tough Love I guess and @Sahara - my father went quickly - maybe other people didn't think that was a blessing - actually I know they didn't but when someone is dying it's all about them - not us

Tough yards - I know
