Description

I treat your mother like my grandmother," the nursing assistant said. Mother was fortunate in having the same people provide most of her care during the last two and a half years of her life. She was unfortunate in having had other people who were not as interested in her needs also provide care. I placed my ninety-year-old mother in a nursing home when, despite the twenty-four-hour assistance of home health aids, I could not continue to safely provide the care she needed at home. But before she became disabled I had been familiar with nursing homes from teaching beginning nursing students basic skills. An image from that time of a mute woman with white hair, propped up by pillows in bed with an untouched breakfast tray in front of her and a large, purplish-black contusion circling her eye occasionally disturbed my thinking. When I had asked the charge nurse what happened, she had replied, "Rolled out of bed."
