There is no dignity in spending your last years in a motorhome you can’t drive, a home you cannot clean and a body you can’t keep hygienic.
People are living longer and longer and becoming more and more frail in the last years, your thoughts are nice but unrealistic unless you plan to end your life before you get to a state described above. The reality is the human will to live is stronger than most realise, it pays to plan ahead, for your sake and your families.
My grandfather lost his wife last year and staunchly wanted to live in his own home, he was reluctant to move into a care solution but what he didn’t realise was the strain it put on his family having to drive to him over an hour way multiple times a week to look after-him, he become very depressed and dropped all of his hobbies.
He finally moved into an aged care provider and the difference is night and day, he is in significantly less strife as he is getting nutritious food all the time, his meds aren’t missed and has people around him who he can socialise with. He looks years younger and has even started playing his musical instruments again. He is enjoying his life and it’s such a relief.
The services companies like OCA provide really are needs based, people cannot live without them unless they have families who can stay with them during the days and work less and less hours, even then they are not professionals. This is increasingly difficult in the modern world with people working more and more and living longer and longer.
