When discussing care for the elderly there are several factors to consider such as their financial status, family support, and physical ability. I think that these factors should be carefully reviewed. We need to be sensitive to elders needs' because they are very dependent at their age and may become a great burden upon their families.
As a retired elder, seniors only have a few resources of income to choose from: personnel retirement plans (if invested), family support (if their family can afford it), and government assistance. Adults around the early 60's are not as keen as they used to be so employment is not likely. So a job is not an option for income either because elders may only cause more damage to their bodies.Since the government provides social security and Medicare, they should feel responsible for making sure everyone is served.
Long term care to me is sincerely trying to find a way to provide the services necessary to every elders' need.
