... Misery is part of this life.
But I think if they themselves want to be put to sleep and chose that should be,if they're pain is unbearable and there's no hope.

@Allelse it's just a tough decision for the families but one should be able to take it while one is sane.

@SmellyBot even in care homes with staff that give a shit it is hard to find good care. Many have too many residents and not enough staff.

@Doomflower And the staff they do have walk around looking at their telephones and ignoring calls from patients

@SmellyBot no I said staff that give a shit.

It was hard when my mom was locked in the dementia wing. To need to be let in and out to see my own mom. Like a prisoner. It was so scary in there it was too much for me many times. Its not a good way to go out. The people that work their are just as miserable as the patients. So then to watch her get treated like garbage. Food spilled all over her, left alone, half out of her chair. Luckily she did pass quickly.

Not for that reason, no, but the stench is ghastly and one wishes for a higher quality of life for our elders. My exwife used to work with high-functioning Alzheimer's residents as a recreation director. It was fascinating, actually.
