When people start out giving care to a sick family member, they usually assume that they will be able to handle the responsibility on their own and on an ongoing basis. In reality, however, this is seldom the case.
Often, people who require care deteriorate in their health, and as time passes, more and more care is needed. If the patient requires care because of a chronic injury, although their situation may not get worse, it will certainly not improve over time. No one can commit to giving care alone for the rest of their lives.
Part of being a good caregiver is enlisting help when you need it. When you need sustained, long term help to take some of the burden off of you, you have two main choices: agency health care and private health care. Each decision has its pros and cons
I one hundred percent agree with you, I have been a CNA and an RN for sometime now and I find myself thinking someday I am going to have to put my parents in one of these places. Its an important decision to make. My mother has always dreaded elderly care facilities, always begged me and my brother not to put her in one EVER. But how can you avoid it really, its needed for their care.

i agree with you and the same time, i dont. whether it is an agency health care or private health care, do you think they can do as good as a family member if you consider it from the emotional viewpoint… i guess not..
