You can’t Buy Your Way To Heaven!

A month ago I fell in my home and broke my ankle in three places.

I had to crawl to the living room to get my phone to call 911, then I had to crawl to the front door to let the Paramedics in because my dog wouldn’t allow them to come in the back to the unlocked back door.

Luckily I live in a tiny little house!

The following day I had surgery to put my bones back together, this has been an ordeal! Then after a week in the hospital, they sent me to a “Rehab facility“ or what most of us know as a nursing home.

At fifty six I can tell you I was the youngest one there and I surprised a few of the nurses and patients when they saw how much younger I was.

This state I live in has some of the lowest regards for our elderly people that I have ever seen. It’s plum shameful and disappointing. Our childcare system is handled the same way! Elderly and infants are treated terribly at some facilities.

Here’s an idea why can’t they have a retirement home, that’s a big farmhouse? The farmhouse is on let’s say five acres and two acres are dedicated to a big vegetable garden and those elderly people who can, can come out and tend the ggarden and

there could be raised beds for those in wheelchairs.

Also a spot for chickens and goats maybe a cow or two and a pony.

Then in another area have a nice big flower bed with all kinds of flowers that bloom all year long.

And in the very back of the property a bee colony to make our own honey and sustain our garden.

I noticed how many elderly just waste away in beds or chairs staring off at nothing. A lot of these people have useful information about life and they remember, but they are thrown away and forgotten. They are thrilled to get to pet a therapy dog, or cat, or see a therapy horse! Fresh flowers make their day! Also, talking to them as adults instead of like babies would be an improvement.

I know it’s hard taking care of people who are hateful talking. Most of the time it’s not their fault.

If I had the money I would set up a place like I described above for the lower class because they need it the most.

After all
