I grow tired of people on this site bashing those that find a need to put elderly in nursing homes. There are times when elderly can be better cared for in a nursing home than in a family home. They have skilled workers that can address issues that cannot be addressed in private homes. Those that run their mouth and judge without knowing all the circumstances most likely have not had to care for a family member with Alzheimer's. It is a 24/7 job. I know I did it for the last three years of my mothers life and I did it for my aunt and uncle. My aunt and mother I was able to keep in the home, but my uncle would climb out the window and wonder off in the middle of the night. We put an eight foot wood fence and made a patio outside his bedroom thinking he could go outside and be content, but instead he figured out ways to go over the fence and we would all be looking for him and have to get neighbors and police involved. They cannot feed themselves, bathe themselves, go to the the C.R. alone, you are constantly repeating the same thing over and over all day and all night long. Try doing that and family members are trying to hold down full time jobs. I was lucky I had the money to hire 24/7 assistance in the home, but the mental toll was unreal.
