Taking care of the individuals that are getting older takes many different needs. Most of these needs cannot be given from the help of a family.

With the aging population growing faster every year many families must make a difficult decision whether their loved ones should live in assisted living or nursing home facilities. I can relate because I made the decision to care for my mother at my home. Some people do not have the money or resources to care for their parent so they must live in a facility for health and safety reasons.
Upon growing older there are many decisions to be made. Among one of the most difficult and perhaps most important decisions is where the elder person will live and how long-term care needs will be met when he/she is no longer capable of doing so independently due to the incapacity that accompanies many with old age.

Long term care facilities are for patients looking for 24 hour care, these are sometimes referred to as nursing homes.

That is a 48.4% rate of not for profit homes with a 51.6% rates of profit organizations” (Banerjee, An Overview of Long-Term Care in Canada and Selected Provinces and Territories).

"Who does a son turn to, when his 78 year-old mother, newly admitted to a nursing home’s rehab unit, is experiencing delusions and screams through the night? Or where does a daughter turn to for help when she notices a rapid decline in her mother’s health and her mother refuses to seek medical care?
