The grass is always greener on the other side. NZ is still a significantly safer place to live than most of the rest of the world.
As for our elderly folk, nobody should be surprised that they will need higher levels of care in the future. The longer we live, the more health issues we will probably experience, and we will require additional care in the future. It’s not rocket science. But it is not unique to NZ. It is a global concern that those working in the sector have anticipated for years. Unfortunately no government in this country has done any planning for how best to manage it. NO government. From what I can tell from information available currently, no political party has any policy pertaining to aged care or the RV sector, which is really disappointing.
