Home care centres in the USA costs anywhere from $5,000 to $30,000 per month.
During 2010,health costs incurred on average by older consumers consisted of $3,085 (65%) for
insurance, $795 (18%) for medical services, $805 (17%) for drugs, and $158 (3.0%) for medical
supplies, and the list goes on. Source.
Many of our love ones finish their lives in precisely the way they most feared, as did my own Mother. Her
home overnight became a small room with a bed and a chair, a TV and a small side unit to house some
of the final memories from her long life.
A reasonable mp3 player cost around $30 plus peanuts for a headset, and loaded up with their favourite
music, see what a huge difference it can make to the lonely, bored and unwell - Week after week of
living inside their heads but alive inside there too, if we can only find more time and little money to save
their souls from this agony..

| FOR THE SAKE OF A FEW DOLLARS WE CAN CUT MAKE SUCH A DIFFERENCE THIS MIGHT BE YOUR LOVED ONES AND IN TIME YOU ALSO IN THE YEARS AHEAD I think many of us would accept to have our taxes or Social Security Payments reduced by one single $30 , in UK around 24 pounds to buy every single patient in our care centers and homes a mp3 player (plus headset for peanuts) so that these lives, now lived inside their heads can mercifully be enriched, all be it for a few minutes at a time. In a broken imperfect system we cannot allow it to become the norm to abandon our loved ones during their time of need, they deserves better than this: Inspired by the circumstances of my own Mother’s final year, my Brother-in-law's horrendous last two years and this video sent to me by his daughter Nicola – Colin |
| For a lot less money than what the pharmaceutical and Insurance companies are benefiting each day from our elderly folks, something the size of a matchbox can bring joy and love back to them, all be it for a while. Act now for your own family, friends or others you know are locked away as you read this. Give our people more time and a small gift like this and watch them come to life. I thank my Niece Nicola for bringing this touching video to my attention. |
| My Mother, missing Dad and us kids, watching the birds outside her window. Not a day passes when I don't think of the loneliness she suffered in a local care home, exactly where she dreaded being and on that final morning, none of us were there to hold her hand. |
