Betrayed

When are the government going to stop breaking their promises to the elderly and taking diabolical liberties with their lives and health, or even consider the strain on their carers. David Cameron backed the £35,000 cap on fees and now the elderly face paying £75,000 per person, this does not cover the cost of bed and board, food or heating which costs a further £7,000 to £10,000 a year. Residents would have to pay this on top of their care fees, total cost towards £200,000. I wonder what incentive this is giving to young people to work, save, or care, what example are the government giving. Just one of many examples is the disgraceful number of bureaucrats on six figure salaries across Whitehall the numbers of which are going up as there is a 50 percent rise in staff being paid £100,000 which the tax payer pays in full.

Good News

A Little Light is dawning at last on those in a position to ease the burden that so many thousands of elderly people have been under and are shouldering today, although there are still many problems to solve this is at least a step in the right direction, hopefully this will continue at a quick pace and any problems given the urgent and immediate attention they deserve, we have waited long enough.

Pessimism

At times I have been thought of as a pessimist, who hasn’t! The thing about pessimism is that we are never disappointed, but if we are always pessimistic nothing good ever happens, it is important to be positive because there are also always good things around the corner we just do not always see them straight away, remain positive folks and be at peace. For you all

Carers Need More Medical Help

It is vital for older carers age 65yrs into their 90’s who are caring for their loved ones at home to get more medical help, I have been saying this for years on my website www.carers-healingspur.co.uk carers first concern is that their love one receives the love, care, and medical help they deserve, but who is caring for the carers. There has been enough time for the UK government to have done something about this long ago, as everyone is living longer and alzheimers and dementia increases what do they think is going to happen when they can no longer emotionally blackmail the carers as they drop from ill health and exhaustion, please catch up on the almost non existent progress on my website, it has been put on a back burner long enough, Please read the links below- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2036433/Older-carers-say-looking-loved-ones-damaged-health.html http://www.carers.org/press-release/being-older-carer-has-devastating-impact-your-health
