[QUOTE="( deleted account ), post: 221801, member: 5993"] Good discussion. Good post fishinRN! U brought up a lot of issues most people are not aware of. All the intangible unpredictable stuff that can happen. We tend to think of nursing homes in terms of old people, but there are lots of young people there with totally unpredictable disabilities due to genetics, accidents, illnesses and a long list of other causes. Non medical people can’t understand the cost to cover all these things. Still, that doesn’t mean costs can’t be controlled in many ways without a lot of legal or social family repercussions. Everyone wants the best and finest for Uncle Joe, but no one realizes the costs involved. My point was that many other 1st world countries seem to handle theses problems more or less though none perfectly, but perhaps we could learn a little from looking at other civilized countries. Yes, you widely hear that it’s much cheaper to do a round the world cruise rather than a nursing home during your last days on this blue planet, BUT the cruise ships don’t have to cover the myriad of costs that your average nursing home has to handle every day, you have to be pretty healthy for that cheap round the world nursing home stint. And it’s time limited! Back to home port and you’d be in the same boat......pun intended..... [/QUOTE]
