[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ Oh, and maybe some bright day in the future when the long term care issue is PROPERLY funded and isn't run by a bunch of greedy venture capitalists, we can have well-run facilities that aren't dumping grounds for the elderly who wind up being medicated into a stupor. [/quote] This! I just posted above about finding a place for my dad. We are very fortunate to be able to afford a really lovely place for him, but seeing what is out there was really eye-opening. Even though he's 92, he's relatively healthy, quite sharp, and enjoys feeling independent. The majority of the facilities I toured were just dismal, depressing, and dour. It was breaking my heart to think about taking him from the beautiful home he shared with my mom and leaving him to wither away in a joyless place.[/quote]
