Nursing homes are similar to hospitals because they are both overflowing with patients. Nursing homes are overflowing with the elderly. When the elderly are in the process of being put into the nursing home they usually tend to think they are a burden on their family. They may become depressed because they don’t get to go out in the outside world, and they only people they get to talk to are their families. The resident may eventually go insane because they are in such a cooped up area, and they see the same people each day. They may also think they are a burden because they know they are making their family pay for the residency at the nursing home, and that could cause them to think horrible things. The family may also feel bad for the patient
