Old Peoples Home

Great leveller. No matter how hard you work and how much you earn /save you are likely to end up in one of these surrendering every penny and your house. Meanwhile in the same place will be folk that have never done a days work in their lives getting it all for free.

Utter bullshit.

Unless you are going to a carehome that accepts state funded residents.

Many, many don't.
 
I'll be choosing to go out in style long before I end up in one of those gaffs. A couple of Oz of uncut, a dozen viagra and some very high class brass in a villa somewhere hot should do the trick.
Don't imagine that's for everyone but each to their own.

25 years ago i used to help a window cleaner and we used to clean windows on an old peoples home in Sale. We used to clean them inside as well as out - used to to take 2 days a month.

Still scars me to this day the day i saw a 98 year old women naked asking me who i was in her room.

We moved my Auntie closer to us as she was struggling living in a terraced house and she went into sheltered accommodation, where we arranged carers to look afetr her and we (mainly my sister and her husband and myself) did what we could
We sold her house for £80k and this was her retirement fund along with the state pension
Roll the clock forward a couple of years and her dementia has really kicked in. She went into a home where she wasn't looked after correctly and she caught a serious infection
From there she was then moved into the next stage of "old peoples home" and my God!!!
The first time I visited her with my sixteen year old daughter, when we came out and got to the car park we both burst into tears and hugged. I don't believe there could be anywhere more depressing. She was in there for about three months before she passed away
The Government had stopped her pension when she went into the first home and out of the £80k there was £16k left when she died
 
I design homes for a fabulous top end operator. The quality of care, the food and the environment are all excellent. Costs a bloody fortune though...
 
had the misfortune of working in quite a few over the years and can honestly say that most care for the elderly is borderline abuse. lot of money to be made out of them and staff numbers are generally the first to suffer against profit. most staff genuinely care and i take my hat off to anyone who works in one.

Wayne Rooney's wet dream of a business to set up when he retires.

Hopefully by the time I get into retirement age a bill will of been passed which legalises assisted suicide here in the UK.

I'd much rather overdose on Heroin or whatever than sit in some home, having my ass wiped whilst any remaining family ignore me as they can no longer be bothered to see my sad state.

Wonder how much it would be to set up something where if I get dementia or whatever I can be flown to Switzerland legally and have my life ended.
I'd buy that right now.

Fuck retirement homes.
No chance I'm staying in one

Set up a crowd funding account, I'm sure there are a few of us that will chip in towards a worthy cause ;)

That's real shite mate. I really didn't know what to expect when I went in, I thought it would be a load of folks playing dominoes and watching bad TV. It's shite getting old!!
