This always reminds me of things like “mommy wars” i.e. working outside the home vs SAHM life. Some parents thrive in AL, some do not, some choose it, some have it chosen by circumstance or POA children. Some live in their own home until death, some can’t have that happen. There’s not a prize.

I just don’t think it’s constructive to spend too much time regretting the things that happen to families in eldercare because so freakin’ much is out of our control. In most cases, everyone is doing the best they can to do the best they can.

Just a general observation, not a criticism of posting the piece.
