Can I just ask for those whose spouses/relatives etc are in care homes, at what point this happened?
My dad is adamant that he will never allow my mum to go to a home as she won't like it and the implication is that it's our responsibility to look after her - an impossible task given that both my sister and myself have two year olds and have not finished our families yet - I'm only 29! (I'm sure you can imagine the bad daughter guilt we're having there!).
They do have some money so it would be possible to pay for carers - is it feasible or does it reach a point were professional care is necessary?
