I think I'd rather kill myself than ever go live in a nursing home. I suppose the only way I'd accept is if I had late stage dementia and didn't realize where I was.

Would you feel differently if you fell and broke your hip, unable to walk or do a dozen other activities of daily living, thus needed nurses to monitor you 24/7? The thinking and math on this changes a lot when complex medical situations come into play.

If I needed 24/7 monitoring that's when I'd kill myself.

Depends on the nursing home. I've seen that looked okay and some that stunk of pee. I'd rather live at home on my own, but if I can do something (other than lay in bed) with my time I want to live. There are plenty of interesting things I can do sitting at a computer all day.
