Would you put...

We had to make that difficult decision for my elderly parents years ago. They were getting to the point where they could no longer care for themselves or their home due to declining health. My father had a very serious health episode that incapacitated him. My mother suffered from some mild dementia and was unable to care for herself. My siblings and myself went and stayed at their home during this crisis. My father recovered, and then they agreed to go live at a senior assisted living facility, which had a nursing home attached. About a year after they moved there from their home, my father had a sudden health decline which led to him dying there at the nursing home facility attached to the assisted living. My Mom died within the week of my Dad passing.

It would have been wonderful for my parents to be able to live with one of us, but we were unable to care for them in the capacity that they needed at the end. I was able to be by my parents side at the end of their lives. I still miss my parents.
