this is something only she can decide as it is a very ruff decision!. In my family we have put both my grandmothers in the nursing home for s short time just for a break!. My mother took care of her mother for a couple years she was admitted to the nursing home for a short time and then she took her back home and this is where she passed was at my moms home with all of us that could be there with her!. as for my other grandma my grandfather took care of her for about 4 years and then she was in a nursing home for a short time a couple months to give him a break and then she came home with him again and passed there at her home with him by her side!. If she needs a break I say it is fine for a short time but don't forget her visit her still and if at all possible bring her home when her time is close just so she goes with family by her side and not strangers!. that is my opinion but she will have to decided herself!.

This kind of behavior is normal for someone who has had a stroke, and if your friend cannot do this anymore than a nursing home is an option!. And a decision that you should not hold against her either!. This is not going to get any better, and probably will get worse!. If your friend decides not to put her in a nursing home, then maybe she could get some home health care personnel in to help!.
Good Luck to you friend!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your poor friend!. She lost her childhood!. It's not a crime to put someone in a nursing home!. You said your friend has children in the home the don't need to see or hear their grandma cursing!.
