i remember going to a nursing home back in the early-mid 90s for my grandfather at first(passed around '93), then for my grandmother who passed in 1997.
I just hated going, you'd see people just sitting in the wheelchairs along the sides of the hallways, its seemed so very depressing to me. Everyone seemed so forgotten about and neglected. Are all places like that or is that just a thing of the past?

I cant even imagine how it is for a spouse to have to deal with admitting a lifelong love into a place like this.
