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.
I think everyone doesn't want to live in senior home when he/she gets old.
But I guess maybe sometime no choice if the young people all go to work and school.
Sometime if the seniors fall down on floor while no one at home, they can be seriously injured and not able to get up from the floor by themselves. That happened to my grandma before. My grandma lived with us for many years and never separated. Two years ago , she was very sicked and went to hospital. And she is no longer as healthy as before after that "big illness". Her health is so bad after. So she needed to live in senior's home (have nurses, care aid over there for 24 hrs).
Lucky, she met some new frds there and we visit her often and bring her out for dinner etc..
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.
