osisi, i see your point and i think you are right |

It's true that a lot of elderly living providers out there have bad raps for the horrible services they provide, but their are very nice ones out there, you just have to do your research. Call me crazy, I'll rather have my parents in a nice home where the can interact with other occupants then at home where they are by themselves all day. |
Re: Would You Put Your Parents In A Nursing Home? by Sissy3(f): 1:31am On Apr 01, 2009 |
DeReloaded: keep their parent in their house plus their family, at least i know many people here who are doing it. |

~Sissy~: would you like your mother in law living with you? |
Re: Would You Put Your Parents In A Nursing Home? by osisi2(f): 1:35am On Apr 01, 2009 |
M ~Sissy~: Many people do it because they can't afford nursing homes. They are expensive. I know people who have taken care of sick parents till they died,many of them had to quit their jobs and get on welfare and they aged a great deal with all the stress. Some end up diovorced from their spouses because the illness takes over the entire household. No body wants to "send their parents away" but sometimes a nursing home is the best option for sanity sake |
Re: Would You Put Your Parents In A Nursing Home? by Hauwa1: 1:35am On Apr 01, 2009 |
OgidiBoy, that is very true. the interaction is good for them with regular visit from the children. |
Re: Would You Put Your Parents In A Nursing Home? by osisi2(f): 1:38am On Apr 01, 2009 |
*Hauwa*: That is the key. God forbid my parent ended up needing care,trust that I'll be at that nursing daily making sure they're taken care of. Please God keep my parents healthy for me o Amen! |

My parents are gone, but while I was against the idea initially, now, I am beginning to realize that nursing home isnt that bad of an idea. I mean, you have folks taking care of your parents while you are away at work. Which is better, leaving your parents all by themselves at home and risk themselves to a life threatening danger, or have someone take care of them 24/7. |
Re: Would You Put Your Parents In A Nursing Home? by Hauwa1: 1:41am On Apr 01, 2009 |
Amen! that's all we have pray for. |
Re: Would You Put Your Parents In A Nursing Home? by OgidiBoy(m): 1:43am On Apr 01, 2009 |
*Hauwa*: In my senior year in High School we would go out to this old folks home and volunteer. That was one of the best thing I'd ever done, I still go out there when I'm in down to visit. The impression we get sometimes from the media that old folks home is this gloomy sad place is not always true. ![]() |

Not all nursing homes are bad. Imagine if you had a parent that needed to be bathed,toileted,fed and was on dialysis etc,you would keep her in your home here in the USA wth strangers coming in and out of your home and drive her to be dialysed 3 days a week plus all the specialist visits in between? When there's an option of a place she could go and be cared for and you pay the bills and visit her daily.? Plus she'll be having interaction with other residents of the home. |

camnt say I blame people for being fearful though osisi Some CNAs are disgusting esp those nasty Jamo ones. Very negligent and malicious. |
Re: Would You Put Your Parents In A Nursing Home? by osisi2(f): 1:48am On Apr 01, 2009 |
Ndipe: I still remember the thread where you talked so lovingly about your parents and narrated the ordeal when you went home to bury your mom. It was so touching. Bless you. Nursing homes are not bad at all. Just because they found a giant rat in the sweet and sour soup pot at Asian cuisine doesn't mean restaurants are bad ![]() 1 Like |
Re: Would You Put Your Parents In A Nursing Home? by Hauwa1: 1:49am On Apr 01, 2009 |

*Hauwa*: Ghanaian CNAs are pretty phucked up too |
Re: Would You Put Your Parents In A Nursing Home? by osisi2(f): 1:51am On Apr 01, 2009 |
DeReloaded: You're right. The same Jamo could be the care giver people hire in their homes. are you talking of Jamo CNA,someone talked of Naija nurses that'll flush the medications down the toilet because the shift was over People are wicked |

reloaded,wasn't it in New York that a Jamo impregnated a woman in coma in anursing home some years ago The stupid idiot was sexually assaulting this woman until her belle started growing and an ultrasound showed a baby and she delivered a mixed kid and a paternity test proved who the daddy was. Very sick! |
Re: Would You Put Your Parents In A Nursing Home? by DeReloaded: 1:59am On Apr 01, 2009 |
**osisi: Wow Ive heard of things like this but never knew they actually happen. Did the birth wake her up? Then again Im not surprised. Those pigs would sleep with anything. Shameless lunatics. I cant freaking stand them ![]() |
Re: Would You Put Your Parents In A Nursing Home? by osisi2(f): 2:00am On Apr 01, 2009 |
*Hauwa*: any Nigerian woman who was called to be a nurse went to Yaba school of Nursing and others not UNIBEN and UNICAL for sociology. I don't trust any of these opportunistic nurses here. They are all 419ers ![]() none of them went in there for the love of that profession. It's just a job Thy care nothng about those patients They are more interested in the overtime and the blonde wigs on their hair |

Most caregivers come and go.You've given me a lot to think about, but I still wouldn't send her to a Nursing Home. She wants to go back to naija anywayz. Nursing homes would cook her the food she loved, wouldn't take care of her as should be taken. A home healthcare worker has a one to one attention with her, which arely happens in th nursing home. |
Re: Would You Put Your Parents In A Nursing Home? by osisi2(f): 2:29am On Apr 01, 2009 |
One "fair skinned " Nigerian nurse went to Nigeria for vacation and ran out of her bleaching cream and returned to America darker than Kweku Amfosah ![]() Even her own kids and friends thought she had contracted a terminal illness A few months later she was "healed" |
Re: Would You Put Your Parents In A Nursing Home? by osisi2(f): 2:31am On Apr 01, 2009 |
Ebony-Silk: In some homes,family can bring her their foods whenever they want to but remember that most of these patients are on some special or modified diets. Patients in nursing homes can also have one on one private care aides provided for by the families that can afford it. |
