If you think it is that easy find me a LTC home within 20 miles of London and I will gladly take her there. As I said she has been on a waiting list for the last 3 years but now that she is in hospital they tell me she has moved up the list. Whatever that means.
No options what so ever. They said the Ford Government told the hospital to start charging people that are waiting for LTC. I do not think it is fair because we have no say on the matter and they move at a snails pace.
I hear you Outdoorman. Karen and I have been going up to see mom every day for the last 7 weeks. I am willing to go a bit further but not too far as Karen and I are usually the only 2 people she sees. We go up before lunch to help her with her food and to make sure they get her up in her chair. If they send her too far away I don't think she would last too long as she really looks forward to Karen and I coming every day.
I hear you Silvertip49. Up until 7 weeks ago mom lived by herself in her own home. Karen and I bought the place across the street from her so we would be close. The government paid for a PSW to come for 45 minutes in the morning to get her up and another to come at lunch for 45 minutes. Karen and I hired a PSW to come for 3.5 hours in the evening to make her supper and bath her etc. As we were very close we would go over every day to see how things were going and to keep her company. The afternoon PSW let mom fall 5 times on the weekend and I had to go over and pick her up. The PSW told me they are not allowed to stop her once she starts to fall. That is when mom ended up at the hospital. The doctors told us she is not allowed to go back home for safety reasons.
I agree with you Dman. This country is not even recognizable compared to the country I grew up in and that's putting it mildly.
Hard to pin this on Ford whose conservative government has been suffocating in the debt left by 16 years of irresponsible liberal governments. When McGinty took over in 2003 the debt was $110 billion and today it stands at almost $400 billion. McGinty alone increased the debt by 134% then the lunacy continued on steroids under Wynn for another 5 1/2 years and now we have twice the debt of California. That now makes Ontario the most indebted sub-sovereign borrower on the planet and we are all paying dearly for it. I think you are putting the lion's share of the blame in the wrong place.
