Caring For The Elderly
I am just watching a program following the ambulance service crews on their rounds .It beggars belief the amount of elderly people bedridden and living on their own rellying on carers coming in a few hours a day otherwise they are on their own. Where are the families of these elderly people, why are they living alone ? If an elderly relative needed me I wouldnt hesitate and hope my relatives would do the same for me if I ever needed it .Why in this day and age , elderly and disabled people still falling through the cracks its not right .There are 100s unemployed make them work for their benefits train them as carers .When building social housing add granny flats so the elderly never have to live alone .
