i am to meet up next week with my college friend who is here in manila as her grandmother died last month and she was the one assigned by the family to bring home her grandmother's ashes from the states. she was telling me over the phone last tuesday on hard it was as they had to bring her grandmother to a nursing home when she got sick. but that they really didn't have an option as no one is to take care of her grandmother at home as everyone had work or school.
nursing homes are pretty much in demand in other countries. i have nothing against those who bring their loved ones to such because at least they make sure that someone is to take care of their loved ones since they can not. sick and old people do need a lot of attention and if the family members cannot provide for such for whatever reasons, it is really best to get some help. nursing homes provide for different options that could be discussed with the family and the family could just decide on what is most suitable for them. they would also provide families with forums where they could join so they could gather information that they need. at least this is better than really doing nothing or leaving the sick at home with no one to attend to them.
