After my Great Grandmother moved out of her cottage she moved into an Old People's home and very pleasant it was too. I loved her cottage but I visited the home pretty often and it seemed great for her. She ended up very happy and very well cared for. Well, I say "very happy", she was a pretty crabby woman, but she was certainly no more crabby.
When did they get such a bad reputation?
Personally if I need looking after a care home seems a much better idea to me than burdening one of my children.
Out of interest I have a couple of beneficiaries in care homes here. £2,000 - £3,000 per month. Which is roughly 10 times what the might pay in rent in their own home.
With medical care as well they're £5,000 per month.
The ones I've been in, which is half a dozen or so, are modest but very pleasant.
The grotty ones are those that unwanted relatives get dumped in to get them out of the way.
