One of my sisters worked as an aid in a home (after she got downsized from a state job) Most of the other girls working there are half her age and a lot of them have bad attitudes. One time she got scratched by a violent patient and her arm got infected.
I can tell you this she won't be too happy with what place she can afford and for how long she can afford it. After that it's not my problem. My wife and I have done all we can do and are just fed up with how she treats us...fine you don't like how we are helping you? Good let the government take over and see how that goes mom.
My mom isn't demented, she had a stroke in 2019 and last Oct got put in the hospital then short term rehab for a wound on her foot that got infected.....used up all her 100 days of Medicare and I said it's time for an Assisted Living Facility and she said no I want to go home, so I said fine you can pay $2000 a week for aids, problem is now she's pissed off all the aids so no one wants to help her anymore.
Tough situation, bro I don’t envy into you on that. Hopefully, I kick the bucket before I could become old and cantankerous and burdensome.
The good homes aren't bad but too many of those places are for the people who can't afford better and the patient get almost none of the care they are supposed to get. Not abuse really. Just neglect. Push the call button and get ignored. Laying in soiled beds all day. Things like that.
we spend way too much and waste too much on taxes, but if we’re going to be forced to pay taxes I wish it would be better utilized for things like this
our society kind of just throws people to the curb when they don’t contribute anymore, like elderly and the veterans.
why it pisses me off so much when we have Somalis coming here and defrauding our tax services that are supposed to help people while we have elderly people lonely and scared and abused. Payed taxes their whole life and contributed and now get the bare minimum
So many people paying so much to take care of their parents but now you have social security running out, the younger generation can’t even afford their own homes and more people in debt then ever and birth rate declining it’s a scary situation

If you can only afford Medicaid the places you can go to are for you to quickly die in.

Maintaining muscle mass is a huge huge advantage to maintaining your faculties when older. I imagine ups drivers have to be a bit ahead of the curve cardio wise, get a lot of steps in which is very important also
but squats are super useful and probably the best exercise for this
They say a test to see your health and mortality as you age is called the sitting rising test. Sit down on the floor, and if you can get up and rise with out using your hands knees or other support you’re in good shape
I’m really really hoping I can get my parents working out when they retire, my mom is good on her own but my dad is a hit stubborn but I think I may be able to encourage him
