HELP ME IM IN ILLINOIS
Louisville ky is a joke ..
Too bad I live in an area where NONE of this available. Not even meals on wheels.
🎉Thank🙏🌹 You, God bless🔮 You⚡🌌... 😊
I fear not, as I gradually get older, for I KNOW my Lord and Savior watches over me moment by moment! I'm an elderly widow, my late husband and I had 2 now middle aged children who are both married and live in their own homes with their families! I take life one day at a time and my EVER-PRESENT Lord has NEVER failed me yet! I don't live alone, for I have a personal relationship with Jesus and He always provides for me! Glory!!!
Is being assailed beaten up elder abuse ?
Cheaper to stay home; keep your larger home and “rent” free to caregivers, pay them 4k per month, not 10k per month for terrible care- l have learned this: facilities are not good care and take every last cent.
I have observed this type of exploitation in a group home as well. The law has not caught up yet.
I admire your confidence that 66 seconds on the subject would be informative.

Opioid, feytanol ,heroin, no matter what drug, they are population control, addicts get exactly what they deserve. I have no empathy for any addicts. Im near 60 today, i have never smoked any tobacco products, never used any drugs at all, never drank any alcohol. It is called self control, self discipline.
These wicked workers have no conscience
If it's true that there's laws and consequences for wickers workers . Go after Sherman's hospital in Chicago for the deaths of all those patients . White and black . They killed with medications . The medical examiner was even apart of the cover up.. they were tried to starve patients , giving them shots, and locking up the needles in a locked box on the wall
Check up on these nursing homes and senior highrises
Most ppl think their going to drive to their brown funeral
Back end of the boomers are not as healthy because the are older ha ha
I am 75 going on 76. I am a South African socalled colored woman. I retired at 65 to look after my aging mother, which I did faithfully and with love, until she died. I had family and friends who supported me after her death and when my youngest only surviving son died 7 months after my mother. But things changed! I am alone now! Visits became less, or not at all! Those who come, come, uninvited for a weekend, without a contribution ! Then they have financial problems which they expect me to fix! I am so tired of the selfishness of people. No one seem to realise that the money I have , I worked for for more than 40 years! The obsession with money and exploitation of others, are just above human comprehension. Is this what democracy and capitalism is all about??????? I pray that GOD will save me from senility or dementia! I still have all my faculties and think for myself ! God is good!
As a fellow South African I really feel for you. I'm 72 years old. I pray and hope that some family will come forward to help you. God bless you always.
I'm praying with you ❤
This is so sad. Praying for everyone
You know,😢 God sees 😢 erything
Super super super super super super depressing yes Could even push some to suicide
My husband and i are elderly, retired and disabled. My husband drives me to the grocery store. I am able to buy us good nutritional food. I am a nurse who studied nutrition. But not all elderly are able to eat well. Its sad.
I too am becoming more concerned about good nutrition, eating fruits and veggies etc.....I once never even thought about these things.
i will never ask for help , i'm too broken
What's wrong?🥺
You're not alone. My kids have stopped talking to me. It's not fun to be old, alone and forgotten.

Please defer me to videos on parental stress & impacting kids when the stressors are intentionally inflicted by the other parent no longer in the home? Basically Domestic Violence & child abuse but the primary attachment gets to take on all the responsibility, accountability, blame, advocacy, consequences, hurts, pains, torment.. Or when the torment of the family is wrapping up, the severing and abuse of the kids has consumed that primary attachment; the culpable harm causing perpetrator then TAKES the kids & society's ALL collude, accept, & perpetuate it. Total destruction is now imminent!! Society's don't really wanna talk about THIS TRUTH though... 😔It's a shame!!
Great content! I love videos like this. Health promotion is always very nice.
Thank you I’m the youngest and my older siblings think about themselves and their family. And after my mom passed away it made me so mad that they just care about themselves. And I try my best to care for my dad without no help. And if something happens with his health she’s gets mad at me and say things like you should have told me 😳. I don’t have kids like they do and one of the reasons is because I did right by my mom and dad . And it’s really hard and I ask god to help me .
The friends are getting older and really can’t be much help. The huge problem is keeping them clean and dry ! I am a 82 year old . I live alone. I have urinary incontenience😊. It’s overwhelming...feeling an smelling like urine is so degrading . I try to bathe and change my garments ... but I need help. I have 3 times a week ..could use on a daily basis. However I understand why the biggest complaints from family is these people are always soaked in pee. I think unless you can change them 8 times daily. That is my biggest 😢 problem .
Why can't this be a personal decision? Elders aren't children such that we'd say they haven't lived enough to be able to make such a decision. And when you consider the effects of poverty, age discrimination, and rampant social exclusion on older adults (did the speaker at 1:10 really say "the old folks' club??"), to say nothing of declining health, it's understandable that some older people could decide they've had enough of life. It's a Western cultural PERSPECTIVE that this equates to illness, not a biological fact.
Absolutely. I'm in that situation. Boomers are being ostracized by young people saying we ruined everything for them. The only thing I'm living for is my cat. She gives me unconditional love.
My two daughters have power of attorney. One for my finances and one for my health and welfare. I have strict instructions for all aspects.
brush once a day is enough idiot at night there's no point cause ur not seeing anybody
Helping the eldering ones, has being a blessing from God.Sometime,people who spent more time with the elders are considered wise.Well, I like helping the elderly, young,old and children as well.Infact serving and helping sick people has been my passion.
I'm age 72 and expect my IRA to run out in approx. 8 years. I will only be 80 then. I had assets of $350.00 at one time but have had to spend them for out-of-pocket medical costs, a hospital bed in our home and emergencies. When my 77-year-old husband passes (with many health issues) I will lose my own SS income and will likely lose my condo at that time (unless it is paid off by then which is unlikely.) Our condo mortgage is our only debt.Not only do we not have long term care insurance we don't have any life insurance!!
It is also VERY hard on the caretaker to have your loved one age in place. It requires constant care, expensive paid help, and often means the caretaker gives up their career and their life.
Adult children not taking in their sick and elderly parents to care for them is also "neglect and abuse". 70% of societies are doing that... 70% of adults in many societies today say "thanks Dad and Mom for all the sacrifice of raising me, but sorry don't expect me to care for you..." People have 2000 sq ft homes but they don't have a bed space for their parent.
If an adult child is unable to "take in" a parent then place them in a nursing home. It's a duty to see that they are fed, clothed, sheltered, given medical care but sometimes because of childhood abuse that child might not be able to have that parent in close proximity to them or their family. The Bible says "honor thy mother and thy father". It might be enough "honoring" to see that they are cared for but not in your home. Just an opinion.........
Parents should live with their adult kids... Retired people shouldn't maintain their standard of living. They should cut their standard of living or cost of living by at least half.
Save ur money instead of buying for grown kids, grandchildren. Use saved money to hire helpers. Helpers enabled you to stay at home! Have ramps built, don't place things you use regularly on top shelves, etc. Start thinking people. Not 1 nursing home can provide all the care a person may need in a timely fashion.
These folk are trump supporters, so I feel very little sympathy for these people. I say they should go ask Trump for help. They don't want black folk voting in elections. So screw em.
My parents lived in Fl. My father had a massive CVA on R. side and my mother cared for him until she became ill and could no longer care for him or herself. We lived in another state so, I was traveling back and forth after I put them into a nursing home and had to take on the responsibility of selling their home. Since I was an only child, it fell upon me to make the decision to move them both up to where we lived. That included my husband and two young teenaged children. We turned our home into all handicapped accessabile. I tried to care for them both plus, my family. Finally, my health began to break. We had to make the most difficult decision of my life and place them both into care facility. At that time there was no assistance or anything to help out. There is more to this story, but it taught me and my family to have a greater appreciation for PLANNING AHEAD and "getting all the ducks in a row" BEFORE things begin to break down. For a very long time after my parents passed away, I thought I had not done enough for them. I know now that I did everything I could for them. I am so glad that there are so many avenues of help for care providers and no one has to go it alone.
X musk I knew no im not nuts AI incorporated into Healthcare
I moved to Mexico.. No problems,
It is as simple as not wanting to be bothered with the elderly family member bc they are a rock in their shoe. But feeling guilty and wanting to keep a 'perception' / façade of being caring, loving.
The abuse is not so much the issue as the lack of support from physicians, social workers, and others who CHOOSE to deaf ear to the family member who says something is wrong' though we do not know how to say 'abuse' because the people involved are the closest person in the family genderless! Meaning the perpetrators are (fe)male. They create the perception they are the most reliable, caring.
Great knowledge. It's good to know the health community and the patients or future patients do realize dying is not something you can out run. Let your family and doctor(s) know what you want way before you get your wings. It is so hard on others when you are at that point but can't communicate your wishes.
video was done 6 years ago..its 1-25-23 . What do you do when you know your mom is not in a good situation, but putting her in a nursing home these days is just as bad now as ever. I keep the Peace with my sister so I can find out about mom. It kills me😣😭, I had a chance to take mom 5 years ago and I didnt. So I'm no better. Mom is 84 and I honestly pray he will just take her. Thank you for letting me share.😣🙋♀️🙏💝
Irving Texas police don't care so don't retired in live in Irving Texas.
The Nurse Assistant that actually take care of the patient don’t see any of that money. Where does the money go?
