如果我又老又病﹐我就情願住老人院﹐起碼有專人照顧﹐好過比屋企人忽略或者成為他們的負擔。。。

you will change your mind after.

父母的想法不一樣﹐他們只想每一天也可以見到子女一面﹐那怕只是一分鐘﹐跟他們說一句話。因為他們知道過一天﹐可以見到子女的日子就少一天。

住老人院係好多人照顧﹐但係呢0的唔係佢0地想要的。 ...

agree with you.

I disagree.  If you send your children to daycare, that means you don't want to take care of them? Maybe some parents DO think like that.  Senior's home is good because
1) They have good care there
...

I don`t think so.

those `GOOD` care elderly home cost you CAD6,000 per month, and it`s not worth.

好多野係時勢迫成既.
屋企人個個都出去做野, 唁通留低一個周身病痛, 又需要高度照顧既既老人家嚮屋企咩?
照顧老人家唔係咁容易, 要幫佢地沖涼, 換片, 要餵飯, 要帶佢覆診, 如果老人家生肉瘡就要定時幫佢翻身, 擦藥膏 ...

如果你係住溫哥華, BURNABY, 佢地有 home care nurse, community health worker, 可以上門服務, 做晒你上面講既野. 咁老人家就可以留返係屋企, 好多時係free, 如果老人家係low income.

盡量有能力我都唔會送親入去老人院，尤其係佢地神意仲清醒。

係就係大班老人家係埋一齊，但當你見到周圍既老人家都係呆呆滯滯，頭dup dup或流口水時，你會好難受，就算開心都會被影響得唔開心，唔信你去老人院行下就知啦。

我 ...

yeah! 就算佢地有 alzheimer's disease , 一樣可以留係屋企, 放心.

Home Support

Home support services help people remain independent and
stay in their own home as long as possible. Community
Health Workers can provide personal assistance with daily
activities such as bathing, dressing or grooming. Clients
with high care needs may also be assisted with essential,
light household tasks which help maintain a safe environment,
such as cleaning the tub after a bath, meal preparation
or laundry. There may be a charge for this service, depending
upon your financial assessment.
Choice in Supports for Independent Living (CSIL) may be
an alternative for eligible home support clients. CSIL is a
self-managed model of care, for people with daily personal
care needs who want more responsibility and flexibility in
managing their home support services. Check with the case
manager, who will be able to assess for eligibility under this
program.

echo君,
小弟多口問句, 如果一個行動不便既老人家賴左屎, call 呢個service之後幾時先至有人幫佢地清潔?

應該咁講, 如果你屋企有人需要, 你首先要去有關部門, RICHMOND 就 coastal health, 如果 burnaby 就 fraser health, 佢地有 case manager 睇 client 既需要, 如果佢係柏金遜病 etc.. 佢地可能派個 worker 去你屋企跟足 8 hrs, 亦可能係 早上 8:00-10:30, 12:00-14:00 16:00-18:00 20:00-20:30 etc.

如果套用你個case, 可能即刻有人幫佢. or 通常佢地會幫 client 做 training, monitor bowel routine, 加上有"片". 冇人想個 client 成日有 accident.

echo

and 我知道有d client 可以有人 24hrs 陪佢, 不過 client 屋企要有獨立房間比個 worker 休息, 詳情可以問有關部門.

echo

我都明白, 我都經歷過有屋企人係香港進出老人院, 醫院, and pass away in 醫院.

比我揀我會死係屋企(溫哥華), 如果係香港死係屋企會麻煩好多. 醫院幾乎係唯一選擇.

How can you come back to your home to clean up the poo for the elderly while you are working in office?

唔駛勞氣, 睇你之前既留言, 我知道你係過來人, caregiver 壓力真係好大. 我唔知香港d 老人院現在既情況係點, 不過幾年前有親人住過公私營安老院, 如果會行會走, 仲可以, 如果行動不便 and 痴呆症就真係好慘啦.
