Not much different than the US, really. I had to hire some at-home care for a relative with brain cancer, and almost all of them were drunk on the job, falling asleep when they were supposed to be monitoring at night, or getting offended at something their patient said, who's mental state resembles that of a psychotic 8 year old. Oh and if you don't lock shit up, some of them will steal.

At a certain point, you fire so many there aren't any left in the area. I moved my relative to another area for unrelated reasons, but it was the same story at the new place too.

There were a few really good ones tbh, but 95% were in private care because nobody else would hire them.

>being shouted at for being foreign by the demented.

Sounds like another day for The Telegraph.

I feel that this is the case in most developed countries unless you can afford to pay $10,000 - $20,000 per month for an upscale nursing home.

Robots might make it a little less terrible.

More likely than not, a human would be remote controlling it, at least at times if not all the time. So, they're there, you just can't see them seeing you.

I think this is more of a cultural problem. Aging is a normal part of life.

Can you guarantee that you will feel the same as your mobility becomes more and more restricted?

Do you think that your current resolve is correct for everyone around you, and should be generally mandated?

I agree to a reluctance to rely upon others, in the face of infirmity, but will I have the courage to forego that reliance in euthasia? I don't know.

Sure, but a lot of those elderly people have some significant degree of dementia. That make it difficult to go out on your own terms.
