One of the most difficult decisions adult children face is how to care for aging parents who grow to the point of not being able to care for themselves. Do our parents move from the friendly surroundings of the family home to a son or daughter’s home to become the second or third round of “children” or do they relocate to a nursing or retirement home?
The options involved with adult care aren’t always pleasant, or plentiful, and one that seems to be in peril is the nursing home option. The Associated Press reported Monday that Congress might slash billions of dollars in Medicare funding as part of health care reform, following a $16 billion cut already for nursing home funding over the next 10 years.
