WELCOME!

"But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."1 Timothy 5:8

WELCOME! I am not a senior citizen, nor a specialist in elder care, but just a concerned person, a son, an educated person, & with a little personal experience caring for an elderly man with alzheimers disease many years ago. During college I took a part-time job working as a home healthcare aide for an alzheimers patient whom I will call "Mr. E". He was a retired boat propeller manufacturer who had done very well, financially, in life, and was able to afford to hire full-time home health care for both himself & his wife (who was mentally lucid, but had broken her hip recently in a fall). Mr. E could NOT remember things he had done ten minutes ago. Probably the best example was his habit of asking for a cookie. Every day he would have his breakfast, and a few minutes after he finished he would ask for a cookie. We were instructed to give him one cookie, but no more. HOwever, almost always, as soon as he finished the cookie he would say, "Can I have a cookie?" And he would literally forget that he had just eaten one. It was not an act. And this would go on for the next hour or two, every five or ten minutes he would ask for a cookie. We would say, "You just had one." And he would say, "I did? I forgot...I'm just an old fart..." He was self-depregating. Sometimes he would have moments of lucidity. He would know who he was, where he was, etc. Other times he was completely unaware. Sometimes his wife would snap at him and tell him to "shut up." It was funny but also sad. I imagine it was difficult for the family. Albeit because of his wealth it seemed nice. He lived on a country club, and we would drive him to various clubs for lunch & dinner every day. As aides, we had nice jobs, always having a great meal or two every day that cost about $30 per plate or so. But we also had to help him sometimes at night while sleeping. He couldn't go to the restroom alone. He needed help in the shower. So we always had be to alert. Anyways, we have an increasingly aging society where more and more elders will need to be placed in "assisted living" or have home healthcare to survive.

I will be posting a little information, links, articles, & educational pieces about the topic of elder care. I do NOT believe in "euthanasia" . I am highly concerned that so-called "mercy killing" is a cop-out. And now there are those talking about "stealth euthanasia." We must show care for our elders, our aging parents & grandparents. They have worked all their lives with the expectation of enjoying their retirement, not being "put out to pasture." Let us show love, care, & patience .

"Rebuke not an elder, but intreat [him] as a father; [and] the younger men as brethren;..."

1 Timothy 5:1 

'You shall rise up before the grayheaded and honor the aged, and you shall revere your God; I am the LORD."

Leviticus 19:32
