        Family should look after eachother I'll say that about Catholics they are not so quick to bundle their elderly relatives into God's waiting room.

        Not every family has the ability to meet the care needs of their loved ones on their own. In many cases machines, wound care, IVs, etc. are involved. They have to choose admission or improper care at home because care companies don't want to pay nurses good wages.

        What does that even mean? Nurses should not work for substandard pay. We worked hard for our education and continue to work hard for our experience. We should be paid accordingly. Kindness does not pay the bills, student loans, or even my own healthcare needs.

        It would be great if we could have the ability to care for our elders & disabled in family without compromising our own productive years. That simply isnt possible given this information economy - service based and highly specialized labor. Its made worse that wages are stagnant.

        All very true as well. Family members can provide care and support for loved ones, but their own loss of employment or life events takes a toll. The suicide rates for caretakers & abuse rates for the ones being cared for are quite high. Families shouldn't have to do it alone.

        God forbid a thousand year tradition be revived: friends and family there for you when you need them and just maybe a supportive boss who just might also find a way to help!

        In home nursing care does not pay enough to nurses or aides, however, its more than most families can afford. Thats especially true for 24 hour care. Most insurances will not pay except under very limited circumstances. Imagine trying to pay the salary of a pro over 24/7.

        I wonder how civilization existed for millennia without home nurses, oh yeah, their family gave a f*ck about them.
