When Should My Siblings And I Consider Putting Our Elderly Parent In A Nursing Home?

This is undoubtedly a tough decision for you to make. It can be very difficult and overwhelming to say the least when deciding what to do for your aging parent. Choosing a nursing home is often the last resort for families to make after the following has been considered:

  • Having your parents live with you or other family members
  • Having someone come in several days a week to cook, clean, and provide care for your parents in their own home
  • Moving your parent into an assisted living facility

If your parent has dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, can’t walk, or needs full-time care that you are not physically able to provide, then your parent may need to reside in a nursing home in order to get the proper care and assistance. However, so that you do not live with guilt about moving your parent into a nursing home, it is important to do your research.

Not all nursing homes are the same, as they vary in quality. When looking for a nursing home in Florida to place your loved one in, you need to spend a lot of time researching and visiting various nursing homes. Take a tour of each facility to inspect the cleanliness, food, nursing home staff, and other residents who are living there. You will be able to tell a lot by visiting different homes and researching them to determine if they have been on the watch list or have been at the center of a Florida nursing home abuse claim.
