Is it better for the elderly or sick to be put in a nursing home, or stay at home and be taken care of by family?

There is no right answer to this question. It depends entirely on the situation, and the capabilities of the families involved. There is no value to keeping someone at home with the family if the family doesn't have the ability and time to properly care for the person.

There is also no mandate to place them in care if everyone involved can do the job. Whatever decision you make, if it is made with the ultimate interest of the person at heart, will be the right one.

It depends on the situation. If you have family who is able and willing to take care of and devote as much time as taking care of them as they would a child then they should not be put into a nursing home. If they are not able and willing to devote that time, then yes they should be taken care by someone.

Just be sure to visit them as often as possible. My grandma in law has Alzheimer's, and is in a home. I don't visit as much as I should.

She got it before she met me, so my excuse (I know I'm bad) is that she doesn't know me anyways. But her face always lights up to see someone who is kind of familiar to her.

If I were older and unable to take care of myself I wouldn't want my family members to have to take care of my every need. I would prefer and do believe that's what nursing homes are for. But I would do my research before choosing one for my loved one.

Some are good and some are bad. :-).

I think it really comes down to this. Would you like to be have your family take care of you or not worry about them having to take care of you and go to a nursing home instead. I would personally talk it over with the person involved and ask them what they want.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
