Question 1: Should I feel guilty about having my parent(s) in a nursing home?
Answer: Caring for our parents in their old age is an obligation. That care can take many forms. Sometimes that care can be at home or at a nursing home. Depending on the physical or medical attention that is needed, care at home may be impractical. If our parents do live in a nursing home, we should be attentive to visiting them. Assuring that parents in a nursing home receive proper care and attention is our responsibility. Remember the Wedding Feast of Cana (John, chapter 2)? Even as an adult, Jesus honored and obeyed His parents.
