Re: alternative care for elderly

If I ever came into a lot of money I would do some good with it....
I would set up a ‘not for profit Care agency’....it would care for the elderly in their own homes.
It would concentrate on giving those being looked after the care that they decided they needed.
I would choose those who worked with the elderly very carefully...making sure that there was a continuing carer.....they would be educating in caring.....and they would be paid accordingly.
I would also set up lunch clubs....and a social club for the elderly......so many older people have very little social contact.
Their circle shrinks and they have no way of expanding it.
I would also investigate possibilities of live in carers....again, not for profit, but for the comfort of the older people in our communities.
So a big lotto win would do it....until then it is just a pipe dream.
I like older people....maybe that is because I am one.
