In the news today and, not surprisingly, the onus is on the family to care for their relatives as they age. Problems will, no doubt, be caused by the raising of retirement age leaving carers with less time to care for their loved ones.
Most people try to keep their relatives out of the care system for as long as possible, often fearing the level of care they will recieve and knowing how quickly they start to become institutionalized. Unfortunately night care is impossible to undertake if you are expected to hold down a full time job during daylight hours.
Unless you have been in this position yourself it is easy to make sweeping judgements on the practicalities of care. each case should, but is not, judged on an idividual basis.
