Your reward is in heaven, my good friend!!

Wait a minute you’re kind and giving and you still can’t get laid? Sheesh.

I’m a hit with 80 year olds.

Shouldn't all this cost cutting reduce the deficit not increase it?

100%.

This country has a spending problem.

That’s correct that’s because they cut a lot of stuff and then plan on spending even more than they cut.

I’ve spent a decade volunteering in a nursing home. MY choice to give. You don’t get to mandate my help for your lack of planning.

That means you have compassion for those who have not planned. You give what you have. If its advice, mentorship, donation or good conversation. When men move in a positive capacity the world changes. Especially when love is attached.

VOLUNTARY.

The only way I am ok with it.

Nothing you talked about had anything to do with people volunteering and showing love. You were advocating for the government to do it that is not love and usually ends up with a lot of waste fraud and boondoggles and people not getting the care They were supposed to get more often than not.

Exactly

 

[Over70irregs]

if it’s not a family member, no one’s gonna take care of you unless you pay thousands of dollars a month, get a grip dude. And even then they’ll probably let you sit in your feces for hours.

Although that’s not a lot different than the kind of feces you spread around here.

I would replace feces with friendship. Majority of the people who work in nurse homes that @BadIdeaGuy volunteers are who?

Absolutely. I’ve done some lately. It is an eye opener.

You don’t know a damn thing about nursing homes. The people that work in them are good people. It’s the corporation that owns them that makes it impossible for them to do their job correctly.

@BadIdeaGuy volunteering is because he understands that and sees a need.

Lower income inner city people who steal the change out of desk drawers.

Unless others get involved, you sit in your room until it’s mealtime when you get taken to the frozen meals they’ve warmed up and count the days down till the two when your family show up and pretend they care about you.

Your birthday and Christmas. They’ll show up for as little time as they can, and then these people get to sit there wondering if they’ll see them again in this world.

And last I knew, the full rates where I volunteer for a single room were 100K a year. Almost no capacity, so that’s as good as it gets.

Just roll me down a hill if I get to that point. Incredibly sad.

The money gets funneled to the top.

The nurses are angel. The managers care.

But there’s not nearly enough money to get good employees in the rooms.

I was inferring a community approach but it is your prerogative if your stuck on government solutions. Just look at the VA. I’m into using your situational resources. A mother with child would have to lean on child services. If she does and is moving forward that is ok.

Yep, my youngest daughter worked in a nursing home for a short time while she’s doing nursing school.

She thought she was going to help and maybe even change the culture. She actually reported some bad behavior and protocols, but she quickly found out that even the people you report to you don’t wanna hear about it very much.

She quit that and now does home health and says she likes that much better institutionalized places like nursing homes are really awful although they are necessary in some instances.

Did you know Uber eats lets you pay for grocery delivery with SNAP at some locations?

I’m not really okay with that. It’s bloody expensive getting groceries delivered, so I don’t do it. Not okay with my tax dollars paying for someone else to get that instead.

Depends on the person. My mother gets SNAP benefits. She can barely walk and no longer drives. About to be 82. My sister and niece bring her groceries but if she didn't have anyone she would greatly benefit from having groceries delivered to her. But definitely able bodied people should be getting their own groceries.

Sure that would be OK but more often than not they don’t move forward because in a weird twist the government makes it nearly impossible for them to move forward, and then they just become another person reliant on the government forever.

“If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; but if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime”

This is a great saying but unfortunately, the government doesn’t want many of these people off the door because they have control of them and the next generation that comes after.

White collar who make fake BOA accounts. Theft is theft.

Your 100k figure is interesting. How do people pay? What is your plan for long term care if I may ask? We may need a thread for this if it’s possible……
