I received a call from this lady a few days ago. She wanted to know how much will it cost to hire a private nurse. So I give her the usual rates, RM90/8 hours etc etc.

She asks me a lot of questions in regards to the nurses and process of hiring. I provide necessary information and I ask her for the patient's details.
She says that she will get back to me after checking with other family members.

Yesterday I received a Whatsapp message saying that they have decided to send their mother to an Old Folks Home. 
I was really speechless.

Because I always thought that if anyone resorts to sending their parents away, it is because they did not know that they have the option to keep the parents at home and hire nurse to come to the house instead.

Everyone is busy working, I understand that. But I am working too. And despite that, I can never imagine sending my mother to a nursing home away from her family. Like what the hell?
You can spend the same amount, in fact lesser amount to keep your mother at home with her family but you want to send her to a nursing home?? 

I really felt sorry for the poor old lady who had no say whatsoever in her own life.
