If the patients didn't have young relatives or friends of their own, it would often be the only time they saw children anymore.

One cool part about my son growing up around disability with Chad is that he is not the least bit put off by wheelchairs and older people at nursing homes. He is the darling of the show when we go there, its never clear who is more beloved - the dog or him! Agree sjean!

Dear t8burst,

Goodness I never noticed the advocacy forum. How very kind of you to take the time to draw my attention to it.

While, much of this is the opinion of an individual, I will say that I think in home care is a good choice if the daily needs of the patient are lower. Once intensive care is required, accessibility for people with mobility problems and the ability to get caregivers or equipment to the home can become a very real issue.
I tend to look at is as : daily care works with in home care while moment to moment care is often provided more readily in a nursing home.

Stay out of this thread with your own agenda! What you have to say here has NOTHING to do with the thread topic.

Sorry I was mistaken by who began this thread. I don't want to derail it with an off topic comment.

To be clear, faith9778 cherry-picked one of elizabeth422's sentences completely out of context and made a snide remark about it. Then deleted her snide remark. As per her modus operandi. What a whack job.
