I work in elderly care and my mother is in residential care. It seems to me instead of quality of life doctors have concentrated on longer life. I feel, as a society, we may have got this wrong.
I am ashamed to admit I avoided seeing my Grandma when she had dementia because she’d been prone to being blunt (especially re my weight) even before she was I’ll and I was so scared of what she might come out with.
This is such an honest, raw and moving account of visiting those in a nursing home that I honestly felt (and wished) I was there with you. I can't even imagine how it must feel to be the relative in your position, as well as the carers and those being cared for but this post sheds light on all parties LC 💔

Very well written. My grandma had dementia. Visits to the nursing home were always difficult for many reasons. It made me feel on edge and sad, too.

Thank you for bringing attention to this issue with honesty and warmth.
I feel you on this, it’s rough 💗
