Not a good position to be in anywhere reallyOriginally Posted by London_Manila
Growing old in the Philippines with failing health is not a good position to be in
I wouldn't want to generalise but it's not such a good position to be when living in the UK either.
Likely to happen to most of us at some point.
Happened to both my parents and was the reason for us to go to UK.
My wife was a community carer then a carer in a care home.
As far as the UK goes it's better to be banged up in prison than to be cast aside by family and dumped in a care home.
Sorry if it sounds like a rant, I do feel I'm entitled to after the way my parents were treated.
They were by no means a minority case. As my wife can attest.
Thank heavens those so called 'pathways' have almost been stamped out of the NHS
As you might guess, my view on the the care of the old and vunerable in the UK, especially those with failing health, remains IMO a national disgrace.
