It’s scary to think of what it’s going to be like when my generation gets older.
Already, we’re in a huge healthcare crunch.
There aren’t enough healthcare workers to do the low-paying grunt jobs and many hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living residences are running short staffed.
Our friend’s is having such a hard time dealing with her aging grandma. She currently has Medicare supplement that helps out some. However, she has limited funds, needs skilled nursing, and there don’t appear to be any openings in the “good” nursing home.
The end result - my friend’s family is taking grandma home to live with them and hope to be able to provide the care she needs.
