How to Put Elderly Parents in Nursing Homes?

Putting your parents in a residential nursing home may be one of the most difficult and fearful decisions to take but could be the best choice for them in rest of their lives.

One of the challenges in influencing elders—and occasionally other family members—to choose senior living is that most have never seen a modern assisted living facility (ALF). They still think of "old folks' rest homes" from decades ago, and moving away from a family home is seen as another step toward independence and death.
This image and mindset are common, yet they are dishonest and harmful to elderly who require assistance.
