CARING!

This is an example of what happens when caring no longer exists, caring is the off shoot of love and compassion not only for oneself but for each other, what next?

We need compassion, justice and quick action

What qualifications do the assessors have to make their decision about each individual disabled person? How can the assessors be trusted and what is the outcome of their decisions?

We have to smile sometimes, but remember the dog could either starve, or it could bite back!

Early Diagnosis for People over the Age of 65yrs in UK

In two years time it is hoped that all people in the UK will be diagnosed for the symptoms of dementia. Considering there is a tremendous increase of people in the future expected to be suffering from dementia I wonder where the increased number of carers needed to care for these people are going to come from. Those who are elderly and caring for loved ones at home may then have dementia themselves that is if they are not already suffering serious illness due to stress which is now happening. Families are already under strain are all these new carers who are going to be needed and are also untrained be expected to train as unpaid carers and continually be expected to do this out of emotional blackmail for a pittance and very little help, or none as is happening now, is it not sensible to put the needs of carers before an explosion of patients suffering from dementia occurs, without the numbers of carers needed and sensible help provided there is a catastrophe waiting to happen. Already Britain has just one Carer per 100 pensioners the lowest figure anywhere in the developed world, and what ever reforms are made to social care funding, the elderly could still be left with bills running into thousands.

There should be no need for the government to make the most vulnerable in society suffer when there are other ways to cut costs which are evident by the many flagrant ways those who do not deserve the help and whose needs are less have help heaped upon them, and the many cost cutting ideas that have been suggested and publicized in the press which have not been taken any notice of.

Please read these facts of cruelty

It is wonderful that there are facilities now being provided for respite breaks; keep fit and social activities for the elderly but the opportunities and help to take advantage of these facilities are still unavailable to many thousands who need them because of lack of help for them to do so, and the future looks extremely bleak for the elderly and their families unless action is taken for fairness for those who do deserve it now.

Carer Pensioners are Taken Advantage of

There are now 1.2 million carers over the age of 65yrs, up 15 percent in a decade. These devoted people are taking care of relatives and partners at home who are increasingly living into their 80s and 90s. The total number of these carers is now 6.4 million, this at a time when councils in the UK are slashing vital home help services across the country. The time devoted by family members to caring for aging relatives saves the state £119 Billion each year, out stripping the £99 Billion annual bill for the NHS.
The subsidy amounts to £2.3 Billion a week or £326 million a day, also other pensioners who are not involved in the day to day care of elderly relatives have the financial burden of residential care. Every day more and more elderly people have to sell their homes to pay disgracefully hefty costs or rely on relatives using up precious savings.
Has it occurred to the government that with 11million people alive today in the UK expected to live to 100 that the army of grey carers will have nothing left for their own care that is if they have not died first due to the diabolical stress and their own ill health?.

It is time that the government and society recognised this contribution and gave families the help and support they need. This has been said time and time again only to be put on the back burner by the government, and as yet but very soon to be realised by those in society who think it does not concern them, it should concern everyone young and old. The government must act in urgency and decide how to fund social care now and realise the physical, emotional and financial pressures are all the more intense on carers 65yrs and older.

Bad News or Good News

For several years I have brought to attention not only things that were happening in the UK and the world but I have also pointed out how much worse they would get. Now practically all that is in the newspapers and media prove that this is the case, and the sad fact is that thanks to those ostriches who bury their head in the sand, in one way or another it will get even worse because of apathy. If no one takes notice and makes the effort to right what is wrong in their own life and make a stand for those who are even worse off than themselves bad things will escalate, it is all very well to take a break and join in with whatever entertainment is going to relax, forget and not take any notice but none of us can afford to ignore that not only must changes be made by government but also by all people in order to prevail against the odds.

There is nothing we can do about acts of God which will happen as the terrible tragedies of earthquakes and tsunamis etc strike, but thankfully there are those who heroically do what ever they can to help those affected by these catastrophes, and who do make a practice of helping anyone in sickness or difficulties as much as they can, unfortunately the majority of these good people are the ones most taken advantage of. Everyone should look into their heart and ask why these good people are all too few in the world and why they are in general the ones who suffer the most. It is of little use for me to go on repeating myself when everything is made obvious in the national news which is available to all, eyes are beginning to open all over the world and like it or not it should be everyone’s choice to be courageous and do what is good and right, I doubt then there would be as many tragic acts of God that we sorrowfully have to learn from. It is my belief that with the technology and scientific gifts we have, and all that is happening in the world we are living in the most important days since Jesus Christ walked our earth if we waste them we are wasting ourselves. We need to work together with courage and unafraid of those who are negative and destructive whether they are in positions of power or those who are daily around us. We can do it, and those who persevere and act with faith and kindness for the good of all as well as for themselves will inevitably win. It is up to all of us to turn bad news into good.

Charity where it is needed

People on the edge of starvation, without jobs, no adequate transport, no money, no food, no heating, who would ever have thought this would happen in the UK but it is happening here now. There are others in the world far worse off, but thankfully there are also people who do their utmost to be caring and helpful in what ever way they can. The people of Okehampton Devon in the UK are what we all should take note of and follow their example of kindness and caring. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1369002/Rents-waived-food-parcels-How-Okehampton-Devon-pull-UK-recession.html In despair or on the threshold of the unknown a loving spirit lives on to conquer. “We do not live by bread alone” http://www.carers-healingspur.co.uk/ pam-create@hotmail.co.uk
