This is an important question. I can see how many elderly people not living in nursing homes ( where they can also be cruely neglected by FOR PROFIT capitalist health care system ) are becoming more more the INVISIBLE HELPLESS -just hanging on by luck and random thoughtful neighbors from day to day.
ALL PUBLIC HOUSING UNITS SHOULD BE ASSIGNED PROACTIVE SOCIAL WORKERS AND CNAs and a registered nurse.
Old age and incapacity are inevitable in time for all of us " lucky " enough to get there. But this need not be a nightmare of pain, loneliness , and humiliation. And PREVENTION is always cheaper than TREATMENT .
