Thanks for sharing, but since it requires a subscription to read, could you share what you learned from the article? Or summarize the key points.

Sorry, a nice story about a common dilema, learning how to take care of your aging parents who suddenly need help.

Unless you are a NYT subscriber, you cannot access this article.

Thank you for sharing this article. Now we who are in the trenches need to pressure our lawmakers to do something to address this national crisis.

@ret2tus
Thank you. A very depressing article!

Yes, thank you for "gifting" the NYT article.
Excellent perspective on caregiving crisis.

Yeh, it can be depressing can't it? Every day you have to reach for something positive. On a positive note, my sister in law has moved to a very nice memory care facility. 15 beds, private, no medicare or medicaid, with a stable staff. A regional assisted living center got bought out by a private investor. The first thing he did was raise fees and reduce staff. The ceo and 7 of the staff members all quit in mass and came to the private one I will use also for my wife when the day comes that I can't take care of her.

It's wonderful to read good news. 😊

Well, my sister in law only lasted 2 weeks in memory care. Same old story, ignoring the rules, falling and hyper activity. They decided they didn't have enough staff to handle her in memory care. They moved her to skilled care with more staff. I think they should try meds to slow her down. Can they do that? What do they do with a patient who can't be controlled?
