What elder care options exist and how do you feel about them?

Asked by Mariah (25883points) October 28th, 2011

When an elderly person gets to the point where she can’t take care of herself anymore, what are her and her family’s options?

There are, of course, nursing homes. If she has any children who are willing to take her in, there’s that. Do other options exist? Do other cultures handle it differently; how?

How do you feel about the various options?
