The elderly may in some cases prefer community
nursing care than family provided care at their home. The
experience of the elderly living with extended family in
their own home provides insight into tensions that affect
care decisions [40]. An example of an elderly women
residing in her son’s marital household is a case in point. In
this example the woman was embarrassed by living with
her daughter-in-law and disappointed and humiliated
because she did not receive care from her own children.
This led to choosing to move to a nursing home [40].
