Leave

Mrs. Carolina enjoys exercising at the gym , in fact, she takes some supplements that, incidentally, make her more active.

She arrives daily around 6 am, ready for her routines, and also enjoys some music-related events that some of the teachers organize.

She has a daughter, however she spends a lot of time alone since she travels constantly for work, so some of the people who go to the gym are something like her family, at least that's what she always says. In fact, she exercises with people her age , she says she can't keep up with young

Mrs. Carolina has a goal: to pay for her own nursing home, something she mentions constantly. She says she doesn't want to be a burden on anyone and that she's seen a facility she likes, something her daughter says isn't fair to her. But Mrs. Carolina says that at her age, she decides, and her family should LEAVE her decide.

The daughter has no choice but to accept what her mother says, but as some people tell her, Mrs. Carolina knows perfectly well what she's doing and is very lucid. Perhaps with the passage of time she will change her mind, something the daughter hopes will happen, so all that remains is to wait for her decision. But the way Mrs. Carolina exercises and how active she is, it will possibly be several years before she makes a decision.

People as active as she is have enough autonomy to decide, something the daughter analyzes and this makes her feel better , the thought of seeing her mother in a nursing home doesn't seem pleasant to her, but she understands that her mother makes her own decisions.

Mrs. Carolina feels happy going to the gym, so her daughter decides to continue with her life and allow her mother to do what she likes; it's a decision they both discuss and it makes them both happy.

There is a difference between an elderly person moving into a care home of their own volition and being pressured into it... As long as one is free to make one’s own decisions, any unpleasant situation becomes bearable.
