My mom recently had a stroke. She said the same thing about never wanting to be in a nursing home.

She will never have independence again. She has no money or retirement. That means she gets placed in a home that accepts Medicaid here in the US. These are the worst of the worst. If they gave my mom a button to push that would end her life, I am certain she would push it rather than go where she is going.

But she physically can’t do anything so her taking her own life isn’t possible now
