I hope it's not too late for this man to reconsider and I hope his family, friends, congregation and community support him to find alternative solutions. We have to step in and take on this care. We have to take it back from the governments, who are treating humans as commodities and deciding for them what's best for them. <br />Gerda Jacobinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-64537150714958266472022-12-12T13:01:35.120-05:002022-12-12T13:01:35.120-05:00This is coercive and inhumane...

I have experience with both my parents in assisted living and long-term care (and both had dementia) and frankly, these institutions are getting worse and worse. Some of this has to do with the level of care as qualified people are less willing to work in such places. This is mostly due to the work situations they end up in and the amount of money they are paid. Their work is not valued - because the elderly are not valued. We have a very broken system and Ontario Premier Ford has made it worse. Other developed countries do a far better job than we do. They have their priorities right and have invested in extensive community care. This enables people to stay in their homes much longer. Don't force the elderly, etc. to choose death over life because of this situation. It will happen more and more frequently if we don't do a lot better in elder care.
