  6. A job that changed me: I cried nearly every day working in aged care, then realised I could bring joy instead
    By Carolyn Mullen

    I once asked a resident what she would do if she could do anything. She replied: ‘I’d run in a field’

  10. The article below has some useful things to consider.

    And it does not even mention the option of the frail parent's living situation being massively changed such that "going home" becomes the best option.

    Nick here is training folk up to be consumers of commercialised aged care.

    Re-peopling the parent's house, the parent moving in with family/friends - options that give continued domestic life.

  15. The sooner an old person is institutionalised the better they'll adapt, according to some seeking to justify putting an elderly person into #AgedCare.

    While there is something behind that, for some strange reason the proponents don't want themselves to be put into an institution immediately.

    Appears that being optimally adapted to being institutionalised is not something they're choosing for themselves?

    While weighting it heavily for another?

  20. Thank you to all contributors.

    The combined knowlege shown by Mastodon folk is impressive.

    And it was wonderfully re-assuring and empowering walking into the facility with a distillation of questions coming from so many people's experiences, on paper, in my pocket.

    I've made a list of +50 questions from what's been posted and some extras.

    Will be posted here once grouped into topics.
    DM me if you need the questions immediately.
