“I couldn’t bear to send him to a nursing home where he’d have to wait for several hours to get dressed, couldn’t do what he loves. We’ve had experience with agencies that send you their aides rather than you choose. The bottom line is we want to be happy in our house, and if you’re in a nursing home, you’re not in our house, and if you have an agency person who was sent to you who is not nice to you, then we’re not really happy in our house.”
