[quote=Anonymous]I think most people can care for an able bodied elderly person at home. But an able bodied elderly person can easily care for themselves in a floor (with a ground floor master and bathroom grab bars, etc). It’s when dementia or the person is physically handicapped that it becomes an issue. My grandma lives with my aunt. Grandma (who is not obese) fell down and no one could get her up just this week. My aunt is strong but not strong enough. It took two strong male neighbors. I can’t imagine caring for my parents (60) while I still have infants in the home. I’m stretched so thin physically and mentally. I truly feel for people who are in this situation. My house also has no ground baths (just a powder room). [/quote]
