Excellent question. It is typical among the Hispanics for the elders to stay with their family and usually a daughter.

I have gone to such homes for various reasons and i have often wondered about that too. I am still pretty fit for my age and if I live to be 99 years old like my mother, who was really strong at that age, I may not have to go to such a residence. But I don't think it would be all that bad.

If you don't want to go there you should be extra nice to your kids and be a nice person always then they will want you around. My dad lived with us till he died, he had begged me to never send him to a home. He was a sweet man and great to be around we were close...my mother on the other hand was a difficult woman and I am happy she wanted to remain alone. Depends on the situation. I want to be with my family.......We are of European background so it may have an influence on how we regard our elders, I am not sure. But in our family we seem to take care of our elders well.

I had to care for my dad after my mother passed away. He had Alzheimer's, I took care of him for years even when he did not know who I was. I had to finally put him in a home, not because I could not care for him. Because of some of the stuff he was doing, walking out of the house with out his pants on, he had forgot to put them on. He went to the bank to get money out, had forgot that he was there the day before and was in the back of the bank trying to get money. He did a lot of strange things but nothing that would harm him a lot of the stuff that he did I would giggle at. The police talked to me and they helped me get him into a good home. I would go there with my kids to visit but never knew who we were...but he did enjoy us even tho he did not remember us. It was the hardest thing I had to do and it killed me inside. He is now gone and I miss both my parents a lot.

As for me my oldest daughter would probably help me but I would not want to burden her.
