Who could have predicted this? We’re running into a very odd situation when it comes to what people want in facility care (and other housing for elders). With people living longer, we now have what amounts to two generations of elders, with very different ideas of what they want for their money...

    Hi Carol, I've finally found you online :) Wow, I am so impressed by all you do. You left a comment on my blog and I can't thank you enough for that. This issue you wrote about here is very true. Something we're doing is donating my deceased Father's entire movie and music collection to his former long-term care facility. My Father had large collections of entertainment specifically geared to the older population. So maybe that is something people could do. Donate money or the actual movies, books on tape and CD, and music that appeals to seniors who appreciate things from their past. They need that. I also wrote to our local political rep about improving older facilities for residents. It's little things but if we all do it, it will start a groundswell of help at no cost to the facilities. Thank you for getting in touch with me. I've linked to you on my blog so I can always find this site. It's wonderful. I so wish I had known about it before, when I really needed it. I've still got Mom so I'm trying to keep up with information in case a day comes when I need more help with her. It's worrisome flying blind. I'd rather be as well-informed and equipped as possible so that she can enjoy her life. Carrie http://leafing2.blogspot.com/
