I think its so irresponsible, immoral, and selfish when people do this. The parents have obviously raised them and spent most of their lives living for the kids. Most parents put through with everything - raising small babies, raising teenagers, buying cars, clothes, putting them through college, etc. Its just an inconsiderate move when people put them in senior homes.

With the best of intentions in the world , it is sometimes the only option !
My Mother has dementia & the problems that awful disease creates...
It requires 24 hour supervision , specialised nursing care not to mention diet & medication. We had to make the decision to place her in a residential care facility where all of these needs can be met & don't regret or apologise for doing that.

It's very easy to point the finger & say that it's the wrong thing to do until you are in that situation.

We also have my Mother in law living with us ....she is nearly 10 years older than my Mum but still quite capable at nearly 90 !

Well, I read a story by chance today for a man who used to feed his father in wooden old plate alone, but he noticed that his son watching his grandpa till he finished his meal & he washes the plat very fast & when he asked his son why did you do that? his son answered " I want to keep this plate for you to feed you in when you get old like my grandpa..!"
I think the message is clear,yes may be our parents could be noisy, nevous or get angery very fast when they get old but it doesn't mean putting them in a house for old we should bear them as they beared us while we were naughty kids, crying, shouting & get angery vey fast!!

It personaly breaks my heart,I will never abandon my parents.
My neighbore was a widow and all her children got married and forgot about her,I took care of her,cooked for her,talked to her,she once called me her daughter and asked me to call her mother.

(She died alone,but I was glad I was there for her)

Well I am against that ...I will never think about it....They spent their whole life to raise us and let us be the best...Also, they need us alot when they are old, and they start to act like children...They need more attention and we have to give them all the nice feelings and not to show them that they are old and useless...They need to live their last days with children and grand children..

I dont know what can i say,its like after all our parents raised us and took care of us with the good times and bad and even when we get sick we repay them by throwing them away,what kind of humanity is this?

its maybe for there best but personnaly i think it hurts.i wouldnt do it personnaly.i like myself to take of them.or even i would bring a nurse to my home but not to dump them there.even if ppl say that they visit them always sometimes the wouldnt.so i will never take this risk.i want them to be always in home between the ppl they love with a good care.not lonnely there.thats my opinion.

In some parts of the world there is no word for rest home, they are honored to take care of their parents and loved ones.

Those people are not responsible and can not face Life!

I don't think that putting them in a home simply because they're old is right. I do think there are special circumstances such as mental issues that make it beyond the ability of the family to take care of them. Also, if it is a community for older ones where they can get assistance but still live as independealty as possible,I think thats good too

well personally I would never want to do this.. But I see how sometimes an elderly person needs 24/7 doctors care and in this case well you dont have much choice because most doctors are not going to live with your parents... I feel if its in my power I need to put my life aside for a while to care for my parents or grandparents.. after all how do you think your parents raised you? they had to put there life on hold also :) nursing homes are a very sad place I home ppl think of that before bring the person they love there.

saraowh :$

they r doing a bad thing if they r doing that[it's wrong to do that]''wrong to put them on this place''i think..

There are circumstances that would allow it as sickness or if they need special medication and nursing, but having a normal life and all the necessary to do it , we have to care about them as much as they cared about us when we were kids.

Depends on the situation
sometimes older people can get better care in a home for elderly people.
and sometimes the elderly people like being in a place like that because its give them the opportunity to socialize with other elderly people. My great grandmother lived at one. She was still able to do for herself and her "home" was more like an apartment rather than a hospital and she loved it.

lol....sorry but this is the truth how most westerners think...sad isn't it? Many see it as kind of a burden, very busy lives and children, but many old people do need medical care and with no one there, its harder for the parent alone. So ....put them in a special home , they can play bingo, and shuffle board, cards, singing with piano, and have many friends! And visits every Sunday. Cheers!

It could always be for the best especially if they are sick and can't take care of themselves anymore. If it is just a retirement home you put them in, they will still have fun, but with people around their age and such. It will kinda stink at 1st but you will always be able to visit them!

jenn

it depends on the parents conditions and the place theyre putting them, either way if youre going to do it, make sure you visit your poor parents regularly

richard t

depends....................you can't always take care of them.............

POSTULIO

its pretty mean if they are under 70. But if they are 70 and older and they don't have any kids under 21 i guess its pretty okey.
