Grannys Moving In

Is this an old documentary, Mey? If it's the same one I watched, the granny gave a good as she got!

When was it on mey just being lazy as it will save from going right through all the programmes.

Yes that is true Ana but why did they take it on if they did not want to,

sorry to post again but do you know what I never ever want to be that kind of a burden on my children, I would sooner be taken into care, anything other than that. I have already told my children this.

Don't get me started on supported living or assisted care or independant living or whatever you like to call it. It's fine while the residents can remain independant but God help the families when they can no longer do so. The staff are not trained for nursing care and I think they expect the elderly to be very obliging and pop their clogs before they need round the clock attention.

There's more to these places than meets the eye.

Sorry Gibbs have you ever lived with, cared for a parent with dementia ? I did for 3yrs. I had to retire to do this as mum wasn't safe to be left
There comes a point, where your own heath and mental well being make residential care the only option. Believe me at times it was a burden. I know several people on another forum who would agree with me.

I know my mum would hate to think I'd looked after her out of "resposibilty"

Nina, I agree! I could never have my mother live with me especially in her current state.
