As a retired geriatric nurse, I would never encourage someone go into a nursing home. Where I worked at the end of my career on a skilled nursing unit. There were two semi-private rooms connected to one bathroom. Meaning there were 4 people (2 in each room) connected to one bathroom. For most of these nursing homes they are all about profit and not about the comfort of the people living in their facility. Currently I live in a senior co-op. There are people in my gated community as young as 35 but most people are over 55. Living in a co-op you own shares in the corporation. Meaning if you pass, your heirs will inherit the shares in the corporation. Also we are only responsible for the inside of our units. We have a management company who manages the property and maintence men who work daily on the upkeep and any issues that may arise. Neighbors help each other. We plan events and stay active. One neighbor was able to live independently here until she was 102. There are alternatives to nursing homes.

I found this very helpful. Thank you for the information. I will look into the alternatives.
I would rather die in the woods and get eaten by a bear than go into a nursing home.
