As my wife’s Parkinson’s Disease and PD Dementia worsen, I’ve become more familiar with senior care in our country.
What I find continues to surprise me. In that I thought we were…better.
But we’re not.
I’ve written a personal experience paper that I’d like to share with you, hoping it will help you better understand our situation.
One that we ALL will eventually be facing.
As a follow-up, there is a 3-part documentary produced by Susie Singer Carter about a short care journey with her mother, which is a must-watch on this topic. To me, it’s heartbreaking and alarming. It also nicely illustrates our current “situation” in long-term senior care. It’s entitled—No Country For Old People - A Nursing Home Exposé.
