Aging in America: Crisis in long-term care
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2014
- There are currently about 40 million Americans over the age of 65, and those over 80 are the fastest-growing segment of our population. Rita Braver reports on a group of seniors who have banded together and found a way to make their golden years not just affordable, but truly "golden."
What is the fixation on age 65? "Old age" doesn't catch up with people until their LATE 70s. The real question is what happens to Kathy? Who will take care of her in her 80s and 90s? What happens to the Kathys of America?
WRONG...different people "age" at different rates. Some people are "old" BEFORE 65. Some people are still "young" long after 65.
I had been a nursing home caregiver to a nearly 100-year-old family in Florida. They were the nicest people I had ever seen!
I took care of my mom for many years she had and she passed away from it on July 15,2018 my heart broke when she died ..I loved her so much and miss her beyond words ,,,
Chava Goldberg Your a very special person.
Chava, I hear you. Dad died at 90 in June, and I miss him so much. There is such a hole in my life. I wish I could give you a hug.
God would bless the person like you.

I worked in a senior facility it costs 5,000 a month this is insane.if these dear people had no money what would they do?.there is something wrong with our country.we cant take care of the elderly ?what have we become.?
:
Mark Carson My husband saw a system in other nations other than America where families take care of their own elderly with out resentment . It’s called family love and it’s the best system in the world .
Mark Carson Well, its the same in three areas of W Europe where I have friends & relatives who are very old. It is NOT just our country.
Janice Bowman You cannot say that about other nations somehow ALL being so perfect? Japan? Absolutely when it comes to the aged but England where I have relatives? The attitude of the young is JUST as selfish.
My parents live right down the street from a retirement community. My aunt and uncle thought about moving into the place until they found it was like $3000 a month. A lady I know who used to work thee as a CNA told me the owners were so cheap, they were serving those elderly people half a banana and half of a burger...geez...greedy and a rip-off.
Young people, start planning for old age now. There won't be time later.
Yes, do so, if you can. Time flies by so fast. One day you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and then you blind your eyes and you'll be in your 70s...it's scary. Everyone is talking about how fast 2019 whizzed on by.
@@shannon2748 I saw a tee shirt that summed it up nicely, "I thought getting old would take longer."
@@shannon2748 I know. From 30 to 40 was like a blink of an eye
@@nesq4104 I remember my parents telling me when I was in my teens "Once you hit 20, life flies".
That's alot on someone that age She should look into a facility for him
I'm living this. I'm 56 my mom 87. She has Parkinson's. She came to live with me almost 4 years ago. I still had a daughter in High School. It's 24/7 care, with only 20 days off ,when she was visiting my sister. I have great compassion but
It is embittering to lose ones autonomy as an individual and forsake any sort of social interaction or even trips to a gym for a quick respite. There are no resources to help; my health and mental health decline with each passing year. These grass root efforts are inspiring.
This nation is so busy telling the rest of the world how to run its affairs...when it cannot care for itself, ie...the citizens!!!!
many Americans feel that there are too many entitlement programs and its up to you to take care of your needs, not the gov't.
Amen
Larry Boysen Baloney. Plenty of aged poor in my husband’s home nation - the UK. THEY have socialized medicine and the same problems so - nice try.
Naa kaa A As if aged have it easier in W Europe?
@@MG-kj2fx entitlements? Ever get a paycheck and look at what gets deducted for 'entitlements'?
In this day and age, please provide captions or at least a transcript of your news stories so that those with disabilities (and those of us who teach!) can access and use your media.
God Bless you Kathy
Proof that there is nothing great about living longer. The longer people live, the further they prolong illness and suffering. It is nearly impossibly to get to a very old age without becoming a burden
Yep...is not quantity of life but quality of life...What's the point of living to your 90's if you will be a piece of chewed orange pulp.
Been caring for my dad,he was diagnosed at 66 with demetia,hes 77 now,im 52 n drowning, hes bed ridden now,hospice comes in ,but its the hardest job ive ever had😢
I just turned 40 and I am now trying to set myself up to where I am not a burden to my loved ones.
Thank you so much for telling this story CBS! I've spent nearly 2 decades educating groups and individuals about LTC planning, and your message rings so true (now more than ever!!)
Property taxes are forcing seniors out of our homes.
basspig This is why families today must stick together . My son is already planning for me to live with him in the future but of course I will help him financially all that I can .
@@janjbowman That's great for those that have families, but for those that don't?
That's what we are going through now since being scammed we don't have the money to pay for the taxes on my Mother's house 😭
I relate. I was a caregiver for my elderly father for 11 years.
What an angel...
There’s a lot of angels out there.
I really like their attitude. It's a world wide problem. Here in New Zealand we are having similar difficulties. I applaud people who do things to make a difference. Well done.
Foster Hellendoorn Families should take care of their elderly . If that woman was my neighbor I would help her with out charge . Jesus said love your neighbor as you love yourself . If we all lived by the words of CHRIST every one would be cared for .
This is great the village people of living together and ready care about each other
A great story 😊
It good 2 go 2 the SENIOR center,but l like being around young people at times. Praises The Lord!
I think it is a right and good thing to take care of our parents. It’s real sad for a person’s children to disregard them in their old age but the children will expect an inheritance. Taking care of our parents should be a normal part of our society because when when we get older we will not want to be left behind.
I wonder if there is an increase in the suicide rate of seniors because of the insufficient resources.
Ghee Phua There is a suicide rate in the elderly because of insufficient family love that all the money in the world can’t fix because money can’t fix every thing . My mother took care of my grandmother close to the day she died in her own home and us kids helped her and never did this with resentment . Families should make plans to take care of their elderly up until they die . Elderly people need more than funds they need family love. I’ve worked in and out of care facilities for years and what old people lacked the most was family love. Bottom line .... don’t abandon your parents when they get old. They want family love more than all the money in the world .
@@janjbowman true I'm experiencing that now. Found out the hard way there is no family love or support when you really need it! Being old and disabled living on very little money major health problems arising. Being ignored and abandoned
@@brendamcqueen1298 That's not true in every family Some parents didn't treat their kids well then expect to be this kind of a burden on them I personally would never expect someone to give me hands on care
I love the part about Beacon Hill Village! Awesome!
You're an amazing daughter! I'm sure he'd do the same for her if he had to🙏💌
I was honored to be able to care for Dad during his last 3 years. He passed in June, and I was devastated.
While difficult and time-consuming, people forget to mention that it is a heart-warming, sometimes downright fun, definitely rewarding time. Dad and I were at the opposite sides of every spectrum...religion, politics....anything. We used to switch between Fox and MSNBC. There was screaming. There was laughing. There was fun.
Now there is silence. I don’t know where I got it in my head he’d be with me for several more years. He died at 90.
If you are thinking of sharing your home with an older relative, do it. I worried about the problems, and there were some. But the rewards and the love ...and the fun, believe it or not... I will carry those memories with me forever.
T
WoW....that countryside looks beautiful!
I beg to differ with you Roberto, Old age is a beautiful thing- it doesn't have to be lived with pain.
I'm a healthcare provider, with a specialty in geriatrics...you're both right. How you age depends on many factors, I will venture to say that as with most things in life...acceptance and a hopeful disposition can make all the difference in the world, regardless of age. As a young 22 year old new nurse, now 22 years ago, I could never put a smile or seemingly satisfy the needs of an elderly male patient of mine...1 out of 29 satisfied patients I might add...lol. I used to chat it up every early a.m. with an 8O ish year old patient and I said to her that I pray I'm not a crab cake like this guy is when I get old. This woman told me:. "Jackie, an old crab cake was probably a young crab cake...you'll be just fine because you're a good and loving girl.".
Lesson:. The earlier you start to accept living and dying, then try to enjoy everything in between, and stay positive and get back up...regardless of how many times you fall....trust me, you'll be a much happier (and often a much healthier) person.
Tammy Ward I fully agree with you Tammy.
True Tammy....and it all starts with Good Nutrition!
99% do
Tammy Ward MY mother took care of our grandmother almost to the day she died and us kids helped her . It’s called family love and it’s the best system in the world .
I work in geriatric healthcare and that is why I am a have set up a DNR no intention living beyond where I can no longer take care of myself, never would put that burden my children it is selfish. People are living longer but not better. What's the point of just existing with tubes up your nose wearing a diaper on a laundry list of medications and health issues. Either your loved one gives up their entire life to devote to your care or you are put in a facility. The aging population is about to.explode because this idea of keeping people alive at any cost with absolutely no quality of life is cruel.
If you're 90 plus years old you should be on hospice if your health has declined to the point where you can't do anything for yourself.
Those village people appeared very affluent.
Beacon Hill is one of the priciest neighborhoods in Boston. Median home price around $ 4 million. Even with subsidies I doubt many poor people reside there
I saw a movie once called 'soylent green' and in it there was a system in place for the aged to choose when to leave. I think more than half the problem would be solved if those who fear life would stop barring the way for those who understand and are not afraid of death.
Let people go. Give people the opportunity to decide when and how they die and stop sacrificing one life to extend the life another to no purpose.
I am 73 with many health problems and no 'cure' possible. I will just get weaker and less capable. My son has put his life on hold for the last 13 years to give me a place to live, but 24/7 care isn't possible for him.
If I could check in and get a quiet and pain free death I would go, simply because it is no longer just me that will suffer.
I saw that movie too
It’s people... Soylent Green.
Jim Bronaugh No one has to have government permission to commit suicide . The elderly are headed towards a time when they will have to have government permission to live not to die ....unless families cherish their elderly so much and care for them that they don’t want to die but live. HOW DARE SELFISH CHILDREN MAKE A PARENT OR GRANDPARENT THAT NEEDS CARING FOR FEEL LIKE A WORTHLESS BURDON. WE IN THIS FAMILY CHERISH OUR ELDERLY SO MUCH THEY DONT WANT TO COMMIT SUICIDE ! WE ARE NOT BARBARIANS ! OLD AGE WITH HEALTH PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT BE EMBRACED BY SHAMING AN OLDER PERSON THAT NEEDS CARING FOR ! WE NEVER MADE OUR GRANDMOTHER FEEL SHAMED THAT SHE NEEDED OUR CARE AND THAT WE WERE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF HER NEEDS ! LET A BARBARIC PEOPLE WITH A BARBARIC MENTALITY SHAME THE ELDERLY AND THE WESK...BUT A GODLY PEOPLE WILL DO NO SUC THING !
@@janjbowman We are becoming a society that doesn't doesn't value life Life is to be respected from conception to natural death There should be more resources to help the family members of the elders so they don't get overburdened I to feel that they will be headed for a time where they will have to be euthanize in order to save the government money
@@janjbowman Screaming in all caps doesn't mean that you are right or that your opinion holds any merit.
It is illegal to commit suicide or assist those who would like to have the option to suicide.
There are several inexpensive drugs that can bring a cessation to life with no pain or trauma, and those drugs are illegal to purchase for or provide to those who wish to end their life.
Your whole argument is based on what you feel and you want. Does your Grandmother wish to carry on as a burden to you and her other children??? Does your Grandmother wish to continue with the pain of illness and infirmity???
You wish to force them to continue because it is a compelling desire to be viewed a certain way by society, but what if the Grandparent wants the option to go on to the next life and begin the adventure anew. Is it your choice alone???
Your argument is based on your own selfish needs alone regardless of the need and desire of the elderly Grandparent. My children don't make me feel like a burden. I see my options and I have no desire to live as an invalid, urinating and defecating on myself and forcing others to give up their lives to clean me and feed me and keep me alive so that I can suffer every minute that I am forced to live like that.
Forcing someone to live in torment is called torture and for some reason isn't against the law.
Eight years later and nothing has changed. America has twisted priorities.
There are states that pay relatives to do foster care. It has enabled low income grandparents to raise their grandkids . There should be such programs to enable families to help care for relatives in their own or their child’s home.
This has been going on for a Long Time! This devastation has been going on at No One is willing to spotlight it and make it better! How is it in this country , that you work All Your Life and then get sick or old and your entire worth is spent in a couple of months! ??? The outrageous cost for Everything is dis graceful!!! How Dare the younger generations let this go on...
I work in my country in care center for elderly. This age is so beautiful 😍. You learn ethics everyday. You are teached to respect your culture by them. They have to many skills, which families sometimes in the waves of health problem don't empower them. And my society don't give responsible thesis to improve their lifes.
Lot of kisses
From Greece ❤
I took care of my husband for 4 years. My son came to live with us the last 2 years for I could not handle a six foot 250 pound man by myself. When he got worse and collapsed he was in 2 different hospitals and hospice where he died. He died before insurance ran out. We miss him so much.
He @ rest with Christ in Glory ,plus as my Mother always said,Time healsl all wounds. Praises The Lord!
I’m so sorry
Let's start helping by cutting $400 billion a year from the Pentagons budget.
lol there’s other things to cut
Took care of my parents till the end and my in laws best I could...did not warehouse them.
And yet people will put a 6 week old baby in a daycare and think nothing of it...
@Tom Varnadoe...you are a gem.
Best country in the world LOL
You are a blessing sir.
Tom Varnadoe You are a very special person.
I work in home healthcare, but, unfortunately, my job doesn't offer health insurance. I'm hoping to save enough to afford to buy my own insurance when the enrollment period opens again.
It really is weird that, here in America, a country that is supposedly the richest and most powerful in the world, we have lotteries for things like housing and schooling, and enrollment periods for medical insurance. If you can't afford the insurance during the enrollment period, you have to wait a year and hope you don't need to go to a hospital in that time or you might need to file for bankruptcy.
It's a monstrously counterproductive system that makes no sense and causes unnecessary suffering.
I love this idea...my mother is in a nursing home and well she hates it. I think this idea gives seniors a better option for them. Bring it to New Mexico plz! Or help me organize such a group.
I feel for her. My mother had Alzheimer’s. I took care of her for many years. With the dementia, it was hellish. Now my father is needing a little more help. I don’t mind being there for him. My parents were wonderful growing up. I’m lucky to get the time.
Mary Bless you. The tone of these programs seems to always be, in the end, govt needs to swoop in and absolve FAMILIES of having to take care of family so they neednt be bothered. Its not all about money. You have the right attitude of respect. Your parents were blessed.
Hi Mary,
I admire your dedication to taking care of your parents. If you have somebody in mind who you think may benefit from having LTC in place, I'd love to share a conversation about that.
Best,
Joe
Charlotte Vale It has been me that was blessed. My parents always made sure I had everything I needed to move forward. I always knew I was loved. They deserve what they have given me. Thank you!
Joe S My husbands ex wife. Her husband (from marriage AFTER my husband) left her, and as power of attorney for her, left her with nothing. We had her move in, because she was essentially homeless. She has a host of medical problems, and since I am at my dads half the time, 100 miles away, I can’t be there for her. My husband is 2 years from retirement from the army, and he can’t stay there. I know she can benefit from LTC, but it’s getting her to that place. Kind of in a pickle with that one. Today, as the 1st day I am up at my dads, she fell. Her daughter who lives a mile away, had to come over, and is going to take her in. I am waiting to see what happens. She can’t live on her own though. She keeps proving that over and over. I just don’t think she wants anyone but me to take care of her. I’m at the end of my rope with that one.
@@MG-kj2fx It certainly sounds like a tough situation, but I commend you for your efforts. If in the future you could use some help with setting up a LTC plan, I'd love to help. Wish you the best.
GOD BLESS THE DAUGHTER
As an EMT, as well as the son of a nurse and a paramedic, I can say this segment aged entirely to well. American fertility rates have been dropping for quite some time and there are not enough children being conceived to replace a retiring workforce.
There are also not enough nurses, PAs, doctors, et cetera to care for these demographics. COVID was really a boiling point where thousands of healthcare providers walked off the job.
really beautiful...
Great idea for people with financial resources. Many of us don't have money , family or friends. We know Nobody Care !
Asset devaluation/depreciation cycle is coming because people can't find a way to manage living out old age.
It's a shame how we gave our elders to the dogs. Our nursing homes have just been a complete business on money rather than individual quality care. When it's government run, its mostly all about the group and the continual substitution of quantity over quality. America as a blessed nation has abused the medicare privileges in return for government control. A way to revive healthcare is to reinforce the insurance companies, cut abusive spending that robs from the needy (redistribution, illegal immigration costs, false homeless outreaches that feeds drug addiction), and get government out of nursing homes! Expanding medicare may be the answer but consider that's the purpose nursing homes are the most degrading health care system alongside state institutions.
Marlene Cotla Families in other nations take care of their own elderly ...only in this nation are Americans so selfish they want the government to do it . My mom took care of her mother close to the day she died and us kids helped. Grandma needed more than just physical needs met ... she needed the love of family surrounding her . American families have gone to the dogs .
Why are they living in California??? I’m in my 30s and California is to expensive, not worth it at all.
yes, without the taxes/expenses of living in CA, they could use the assets ($) to hire someone to come in a few hours of the day and give the caregiver a break -
Rick Martin exactly, and they can live in a condo with amenities or a small home in another affordable state, California is not for the poor and middle class.
We live, an we die. Prepare for both.
JVONROCK My husband visited other countries where there is no such things as nursing homes or other elderly care . It was family that took care of their elderly . It was their culture . American culture concerning their elderly is all wrong . My mother moved her elderly mother into her home and took care of her close to the day she died with us kids sharing the burdon. It was done because of love and real love that matters requires sacrifice . My son has told me he will move me and dad in his home when it’s time ......he remembers how his great grandmother was cared for . I wish to be as little burdon on family as possible but when people really love and care for one another love finds the way.

My mother started losing her sight in 1998, thae same time my sister was struck with MS, she was quadratic in a year. The 3 of us left, my son in Europe. I had a new life waiting. My sister i could only help so much. My mom needed my help daily. She passed away in my arms in 2017. My sister, 7 months later. It had been a burden for
sure, I needed Gods
reasurance that I could do it sometimes. So many things control people these days. Internet, movies, news, radio and TV.
A blessed life, is the joy of creation and appreciation of it. We are creation. Tell your son love is strong, but life is tough. A caregiver is essentially living for someone else. And the needs for that life
change. You're never really in charge, you learn.
We can only have an idea of what's ahead. Im now alone. My caregiver is me, im the best ive got. And ive been well trained.
@@janjbowman What about single adult children who are poor and don't have a home? What will become of their parents if they can't care for themselves when they get old? Luckily, my grandpa lived alone right up until he died at 91. He never needed someone to take care of him, but he had 4 adult children with jobs/spouses, etc. A single adult who is an only child who is broke with no home has to just hope her parents never need to be taken care of.
"Golden Years" LOL
When I use that phrase, my Mom snickers and rolls her eyes. 😂❤
You would think as old as our Congress is that they would be more sensitive surely their friends and family are going through this

I am there and not having any problems but I have always live below my means ,never had a new car I think that was a major reason for my success 401k was a wast of time for me self employed is most important...My mom is blind and I am taking care of her and are happy being able to do that .I was a bad kid just pay it back
God bless you 🥰🌺
What a lovely woman
I like to say thank you for those that take care of your parents because they took care of you but I will also say if you're not able it's better for them to be mistreated by a stranger than for you to mistreat them and neglect them as twisted as a sound do you want to live with knowing that you are abusive or neglective to your parent
Our grandparents got married when they were 18 and 19 years old. Within a couple years they would have a child. But now people are having children in their 30s and 40s because we are told to go to college until we are 30. We are told not to get married, and have children until we’ve done everything we want to do with our life. So then, by the time we have our children, we are already pushing med age. This makes us older parents. And then our children, if they want to care for us, have to give up the time of their lives, when they would actually be setting aside the most amount amount of money. And it trickles down to them.
However, in some states, you can get trained as a home care provider for your family member. And you can actually get paid to take care of them. But you have to jump through all the hoops first. Not all needs to do this, but some do.
I am looking for a job to take care of the elderly. I love that. I am from Morocco
OUR TAX DOLLARS GO TO THE WEALTHY AND THE MILITARY!!!!!!!!!!

Men are harder to take care of. Men don't do hosehold tasks its not in their instincts. But if course, men need help, just a lot more. . Great courage, i look up to this lady. All the assistance goes to dopers.
Tell that to my 90 year old Dad who did everything for my Mom till she died and now lives alone and takes care of everything.
This is what ur supposed to do not stick them in nursing homes then complain about the care they receive
Why do folks not put their children in homes to raise and get them out of our way. We trying to live our best lives here!!!!

As a society, Americans think they should live forever, and our doctors try to make that so. Has anyone figured out how to afford to live forever?? That takes a ton of cash!

I'm just not on board with this getting old thing
They should really have more resources for the elderly Something has to be done
Bernie Sanders' medicare-for-all legislation would cover in-home care. If you want to address this crisis, vote for Bernie Sanders in the democratic primary.
Same problem in France, my mother started to deteriorate at the age of 78, she could no longer walk with a string of medical conditions. To put her in a retirement home, it would have cost EUR 2000 a month and that was not even in Paris but in a small South-east town in the countryside. She did not see this thankfully. I do not even know how we would have afforded this, my brother and I working full-time in another EU country. We initially thought of using a full-time carer where, in France, the cost is deducted from the person's income tax. But when a person is bed-bound with a severe mental health issue, what do you do?
Younger generation will not even receive a percentage of what these retirees are getting. Double insult. Work to pay retirement of baby boomers AND put your life on hold while you CARE for them and take meds so you can still function until they expire. BRILLIANT.
Hi Audrey,
If you're interested in discussing LTC and purchasing options, I'd love to share a phone call.

I agree
I hope I have the strength to take Hemlock when my time comes.
Yep....that will be my retirement plan though I hope my diabetes,hbp and depression do me first before I make that decision...been an "elder orphan" for most of my life...Only 2 family members and they live 3500 miles away..sick broke and alone..not a happy ending...I'm 64 now...Hope I won't make it past 66..since I also won't be able to afford retirement..
These are the issues that the presidential candidates are not talking about.
But we can somehow afford to run a giant fleet of F22 fighter aircraft (that are never used)...oh and ten carrier battle groups....oh and stockpile thousands of nuclear weapons...and...never mind,...I’m sure the guy in the fancy suit has voted to maintain all of that and more....
Few people can save a extra few million for quality elderly care when saving for retirement . The government will help if your income and savings extremely
low . Also if you have nobody to care as this man the government will take ownership of you and put in a care facility as hayward does . And you can pray the workers are not forced to show at work when they call in covid infected as happened in Hayward.
Why is this?
Start thinking Americans live the country and live overseas you will be alot happier
jack ma over seas many in many nations families take care of their own elderly ....oh no what will selfish entitled Americans do when they see this !? Will they tell these horridly underprivileged nations and these families they are doing it all wrong! American don’t always have a financial problem.... what they have is a moral problem and a selfish entitlement problem .
I fear for people who are relatively young and able in the ages of 30 and 50 right now who don't plan on having children despite that they can afford to raise one or two kids, because there might be a cushy retirement fund to lean on, but there won't be a loving and caring son or daughter to take care of them unconditionally when they become geriatric.
It also saddens me that many able people take advantage of state welfare funds despite that they can work, yet here are people who genuinely need help not able to receive any. This is more relevant now as politicians are proposing to give away so many free stuff in the billions, which means more unpaid liabilities, but that's what politicians do to secure votes.
True, but having kids doesn't 100% guarantee they'll put their lives on hault to take care of you.
It should not be an expectation that your kids drive themselves into poverty caring for you. Either we care about our fellow citizens, or we don't. And if we don't, let's stop talking about how great we are.
Not everyone wants kids. This trope is tired. No one owes you anything. Kids should not be expected to take care of aging parents. They didn't ask to be here.
But if you have no money or support , when what?? Nursing home bound!

People will never care until the capitalist machine comes for themselves
Family caregivers are truly our unsung heroes, giving so selflessly to care for their older loved ones. Help is available to allow family members the opportunity to restore balance to their lives while ensuring their loved ones receive the highest possible level of care.

I can’t afford nursing home for myself. I’ll commit suicide if I cannot have healthcare when old. It’s that simple, people will die. It’s a bit selfish for a vegetable to force an entire family to starve to pay for the old vegetable to sit in a corner. It’s not a life. Is breathing enough? Many in nursing homes just breathe, eat and eliminate. It’s not how anyone should live.
I am with you
Telling is easy..but how to commit suicide..iam in such a pathetic conditions,no one to take care,no money..feel like committing suicide but not able to..
TAKE care of America's native born and Veterans.
My kids won’t have to pay for anything nor take care of me. If I can’t do it on my own, I’ll eat theEgg McMagnum.
My mother said something similar.....she now has dementia and cannot remember she said this let alone how to do it. So, my advice is to have an alternative game plan.
Humans are very foolish and don't really plan for they future trusting it to government religious institutions faith hope and luck. You have to plan for old age like you plan for education financial growth housing and a great excited life when you wss young
Did you plan finances for your home and education? Retirement is no different! Plan for the worst and hope for the best.
She should look into a facility for him
show this to every child, then again in the teen years then a few times as adults - maybe they will plan for the inevitable and spend a few less $$ on tennis shoes and large tv's and Disneyland.
It is NOT the gov's responsibility to provide for care
Sell everything move to Mexico and with the proceeds you can rent here AND hire full time help for half of what you are paying up there! Full time help is Aprox 30-40 dollars a day!
Ramona Ray if you aren’t shot by the cartels.
Scandinavian countries take care of their elderly but rather than follow their SOCIALIST role-model, Americans who do NOT know the difference deem that SOCIALISM is COMMUNISM. NO, they are NOT the same. Putin is communism. Scandinavians taking care of their elderly is SOCIALISM. Scandinavian countries annually are deemed the happiest countries in the world. One reason, sonny-boy does not have to sell his house to pay for mom's skilled nursing or assisted living. If sonny-boy lives in the USA, he'd better get a "For Sale" sign for his house!
