ELDER CARE.....daycare for the elderly

I think it is good. My mom was pretty much homebound caring for my elderly grandmother, especially towards the end. My parents couldn't do anything together because someone always had to be home with my gramma. It was really hard. I don't know what they would have done if my mom had to work, too. They probably would have had to pay someone to babysit her (my mom actually used to do that for a friend's mother).

It's very nice to hear this news. It's really also a problem to leave the elderlies at home with no one to take care of them. I hope there will be similar to this in various places in the world so that the elderlies also would not be just confined at home.

I think that is a great thing. It lets the person work and lets the parents get out and socialize with others. Although the cost is a little steep I don't think it should cost that much maybe $50.00 a week tops. I think that a company that does this shows it cares about its workers and it also takes alot of strain off the worker knowing there parent is being took care of and they can visit them on break time to see how they are doing.

I know there are some in my area although I don't know the cost of them. Some are specialized also for alzhiemers (spelling) patients. I think it's a fabulous thing to offer and the ones around here seem to do a good bussiness. This area though has a lot of senior citizens though so not sure how it would work in other areas.

I think that's teriffic. I had neighbours who had to leave their poor mother at home alone all day when they went to work because there was just no place to send her. The poor dear couldn't speak english, and occasionally got confused. The up side is that she used to keep my grandson amused by speaking to him in Mandarin across the balcony. and the one time she did need help, she trusted my daughter enough to allow her into the house. They finally found just such a place for her in the Chinese community centre in our city and they all were much happier afterwards.
