I think it's due to a variety of reasons (the poor reputations some nursing homes have, the idea that putting your loved ones in a nursing home is neglectful and selfish, the sad fact that some people actually do "dump" their loved ones in nursing homes and fail to visit them, etc.). It's sad that, because of these things, those of us who've solicited the help of experienced, round-the-clock care are frowned upon by some people. When really, nursing homes are the only responsible options many people have. The term “nursing home” always strikes different emotions from different people, doesn’t it?
