Accrington Web - View Single Post - do we look after our old people/neighbours?

I started a thread some time ago about tact and the elderly. From the reports I have read in this case it would seem that this old lady had made a concious decision not to bother with anyone (family or not) and this happens with old people who knows why, but unfortunately if they do decide to take this attitude then their is very little that anyone can do about it. They become extremely stubborn and indeed can get very nasty. Yes I think the family are now trying to take advantage of the situation but, reading between the lines they have not had an easy time with this old lady.
