It is that simple. Nursing homes are not good places. If you love your parents you take care of them. If they are too proud to accept your care than that's their problem. If you leave them in a nursing home they will be neglected 90% of the time.
It really isn't that simple, especially when dementia is involved. Sometimes care at home just isn't sufficient. Sometimes it's too much to handle, no matter how much you love someone. Sometimes there are other reasons it's not feasible.
Nursing homes aren't bad everywhere. But if you do have a loved one in a nursing home you have to make absolutely sure they're getting decent care.
