The other day a group from school went to visit a nursing home. We had brought some animals with us, you know the usual, dogs Llamas. The residents loved getting to see something different and having someone to talk to. They get lonely, go visit them.

I feel that this photograph really captures the feeling of abandonment and ending... Some nursing homes are a lot worse than others and of course, without personal connection to a nursing home, people see very little point in going to them. Ik I'd never go to vistit after my grandma dies, but I think it is good for young people as well to go to them, for the experience, as well as to maybe break the 'phobia' feelings around senial old people. I think any people forget how common it is and always has been for the younger generation to look after the mentally and physically impared eldely people. My mum has been a carer for my great aunt and grandma for 6 yeras whilst they have had walking difficulties and worsening dementia. This is not an easy job, but it is not uncommon, people increasingly see this job to be viel and not their reponsibility. Yes it is an unpleasent job, but rarely should it be left to the nursing homes unless it really is too much.

I've been to nursing homes a few times, both to visit my grandmas on both sides of the family and my great aunt. My great aunt and grandma on my dad's side are both dead now. After seeing my great aunt directly after she died looking quite horrific (skelital sfter she had been starved and empty, with her mouth and eyes left open, had nightmeres after that >.<) I still see nursing homes as places of forboding. My great aunt and grandma didn't even know me in the end, though I could tell they liked the company...

Honestly nursing homes are a horror for me. They terrify me to the bone. Both my grandparents on my mothers side were in nursing homes off and on until they died. I think the nursing home killed my grandma even though she didn't die there. They killed her spirit, which was fading long before then from a brain tumor that was successfully removed a decade earlier. None the less, the nursing home upset the whole family with their inadequate care for grandma on more than one occasion. :no:
