RE: Reflections: My "Road to Recovery" Trip
Do they have that service in Canada?
In my province there is a conscientious effort to keep the elderly in their homes as long as possible. We get caregivers from the health care system who come to the home each morning and evening. It has been proven that it is not only more comfortable for the elderly but cheaper for the system than to institutionalize them, unless medically nessasary.
Looking forward someday to reading of your journey on your bicycle!
Thanks. Considering my present situation as being in training for the future Tour. 😎
Makes sense @novacadian! Definitely don't know myself of any old person who wouldn't prefer to live out there remaining days in their home, if at all possible.
Even with the help, I would assume your mother still needs your commitment, otherwise for her being at home would not be possible.
