The people that work at the Care Homes are saints. Such a difficult job. I think in Europe and Asia more elders end out their lives at home with their children?

My parents did not want to put that burden on us. I never thought I would ever want to live in a care home, but I see now how much attention some seniors need around the clock.

Medical science has extended our lifespans, but it is not always a good quality of life at the end.

Dementia claimed my father - it was heartbreaking to see him slowly fade away from us. Like "Flowers For Algernon". A brilliant man became like a three year old.
