I work in the rehab unit at a nursing home. It's a good feeling to watch your residents become well enough to go home. Some of our residents never leave. I make their stay a very happy one. The residents call me and my coworker the crazy aids. I hope you make the best decision, because my mom and stepdad put his grandma in the nursing home where I work. She received the best care and love until her death this past Monday.
My thoughts are with you,

I'm devastated. Could I do more? Could I have prevented this? Am I letting her down if she goes to a nursing home?
