    I guess the only thing she needs is assurance because she thinks that you're letting her move out because you don't want to take care of her anymore. Make her understand that this is for her own good and this is the best way to give her the long term care she needs. Words aren't enough I know so it's best to show her that she still means a lot by visiting her as frequent as you can, bond with her and give her everything that would satisfy her. It would also help to bring her along in choosing a nursing home so that she can choose what facility can make her most comfortable. You should consider her opinion because she'll be the one moving out and not you.

    My only concern is if you mother or father doesn't want to move to a nursing home then why not obey them. Let them stay in you and hire someone to attent to their needs. Life can be complicated at times but it is our decision still that make things more complicated.I'm so sorry but I guess when my parents don't wanna be a care home I would gladly take good care of them. Older people might be so sensitive. Just imagine the fact that when you were still a baby they took care of you, now that they're old, it's your turn to do the same with them. [:'(] Time to care for them. It's hard to be far away from your family.
