Part of the problem is the lack of beds in facilities designed for this type of care - there is a hell of a waiting list, and the lack of genuinely caring staff working as carers in that sector. Their pay is awful, the conditions terrible, and their jobs unenviable.
And she is so vulnerable, in so many ways.
But what a way to live out your nineties. Makes me hope for a nice quick terminal condition that leaves my mind intact and my body able to tidy up after me!
Pretty much what we'd all want. Exit, stage left...
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
