surely it only goes to very old vulnerable grannies, not me!
Why does everyone assume that just bcause we are old we are vulnerable? People become vulnerable at different ages for different reasons, My niece, now in her 40s, is vulnerable and always will be because she has a learning disability.
My father did not become vulnerable until his 90s and into his final illness. He was living independently, driving 90 miles to visit his children, and running several local organisations. When he became ill we had to issue bulletins to half a dozen organisations he was still involved with.
I am in my late 70s and have inherited my father's constitution. I get fed up with offers to put me on vulnerability registers merely because of my date of birth.
Should I reach a state where being on these registers would be a help, I will be on them in a flash. Meanwhile I leave them to those who really need help.
