Got to say I agree that because a relative is in a care home doesn't mean it is by choice, quite often the home carer finds they are making theirselves ill in the process of looking after their loved ones. Or as in Forcetens case they have no choice in the matter. Don't think we can look at all cases in the same way but I know that if it was my Mum that needed care I would do all that I could to avoid her going into a care home. At the end of the day we never know what is going to happen!!!
