Thank you. It’s very hard especially for those families whose parents / loved ones are fully dependent in terms of their care. It’s like so hard to watch somebody who used to be able to do so much now so frail and debilitated. Thank you for all you do
@@DerekChaiMedia well thank u so much how kind I do love it. I can only imagine how hard it is for you and all the other families 🩷 you're onto something in this video with your discussion of stress and over work and things like that. The numbers of people in nursing homes is increasing and over the past I'd say 5 years or so but now especially the ages are getting younger and younger. About half my residents are 50-late 60s. It's definitely got to make you wonder !!
Yes. I can only imagine how some nursing home residents can feel so lonely and almost abandoned. I’m sure that my parents have or are feeling this but I know in my heart that it’s where they need to be to get the care they need. It’s not perfect but it’s the best solution I’ve been able to come up with
@@DerekChaiMedia o Derek I know this weighs on you so heavily 😔 I just hate that for u. Believe me they understand deep down I'm sure and they will adjust. I see you go visit them. That makes a world of difference in how they will be feeling I promise 🩷🩷🩷 it's a safe home for them with 24/7 care. And they still have eachother there so that makes it majorly better. I'll be thinking of u
@NURSEmila92xo thanks. There’s very little that I can do for them. My Mum deteriorated dramatically after getting Covid and then she had a huge stroke. She is nothing like the person she used to be and I think it upsets her. Even tho she can’t really express it anymore
Hey Derek I work at nursing homes it's hard on families. I feel for you. ❤ How interesting about your immigration story. Your parents are amazing
