My folks are starting to age more rapidly. They’re 80 and 82 so it’s understandable that they’re aging of course.It is very sad to see older people when they start to deteriorate but there are few options. My Gran was unable to take care of herself and went into a carehome but she absolutely loved it, there was people of her generation to talk to and things going on all the time. Mind you I am talking about 40 years ago.
Sometimes difficult decisions have to be made.
I hope she gets on OK when home.
They both have heart issues and various bits of arthritis, dodgy knees etc.
As they’ve got loving children we’ve always said they’d never go in to a home. Not willingly anyway. We’d just take them to the top landing and grease up a tea tray and leave the rest to nature.
