That makes me cry. THAT IS INHUMAN care for our elderly. Separating loved ones after all those years together? On the other hand, couldn’t they live at home or with family, together?
The husband has dementia and requires specialized care.
See post #5. It is very sad that these citizens are separated, but this is being politicized to expand socialized care (in Canada). In fact, the family actually states they don’t want charity (VOLUNTARY donations from concerned citizens). They want OTHER PEOPLE, aka the government, to involuntarily cough up the dough.
Absolutely heartbreaking......and just wrong.
You have a very big heart. I see it in your posts.
BBC covering this will put pressure on the situation, hopefully and lead local news to report on it.
Like the people making these decisions aren’t going to get old one day and possibly end up in the same situation.
How a country treats its youngest (staring in the womb) and it’s oldest and mot infirm says a lot about its character.
