My Father has always been my rock and the only person I have ever looked up to and admired. He is now in a nursing home where he will spend the rest of his days. This has been over 5 years of caring for him and finding the best Care Home and then Nursing Home that I feel would provide the best possible care that he needs, where he would happy and safe where people do this work because they genuinely care. I don’t know if everyone feels like I do, but to put your parents care in to the hands of someone else, to me is the hardest thing that I have ever had to do. He’s my Father and have to know he’s safe happy and really cared for. So I’m one of these people that has to know absolutely everything, research, ask questions etc. before I leave him in someone else’s hands. I do think from what I’ve seen and heard that a lot of children put their parents in to Care and Nursing Homes , they are off their hands and so don’t really bother about their parents because someone else is now looking after them. I feel completely lost without caring for him at home and I feel guilty about everything even though it wasn’t my decision at all it was the hospitals decision because it wasn’t safe for him to live alone in his own house. I would have carried on caring for him solely but it was the right decision for him and he is happy. But I constantly feel guilty, but I have felt guilty about everything my whole life. Does anyone else feel and think like me?
