Why not send to nursing home and let the pros to handle?

Unless earn 15-20k a month, nursing care easily up to 5k for bedridden excluding nursing supplies, medical and special food.

That, also no guaranteed they will handle like a pro unless one don't mind or no eye see.

Taking care alone , siblings?

This is time to talk to them about hiring a helping hand, either fulltime or part-time. Or if budget allows, you can consider send to daycare for old folks in the morning then pick them up at night bring home.  Like kindergarten for kids.

Provided is not bedridden lar 😭

but they forgot, their children also need to make a living. If care for old folks, who is gonna bear the living expenses and etc. Caretakers also got their own responsibilities and they are also human.

They will forget. They want to be in places with someone they know.

When u visit nursing home, macam2 behaviour ada. Those not mentally sick can become one later. One person cry, scream or shout, the entire old folks all siau jor 🫣

I wish euthanasia is legal here. I don't want to be a burden to others when I'm old.

U won't do it, if is legal. It takes great mind to end one life.

And those who says he wants to die by commiting suicide will chicken out at 14th floor. Many videos shown all those jokers didn't jump down.

Finally, those who did it, will do it quietly. Don't have to wait for euthanasia.

Definitely an option but only if you have money to pay. It's not cheap and those lower few K ones really don't give proper care. For example, the one in Klang (Acacia)  that used to be a hotel building, cost about 9K minimum if you are still independent. Not independent and needed mobility assistant,  they will charge extra cost.

TS's caregiver is also not cheap I guess as those that have off days are paid based on days. Had one when my dad came back from hospital, it was RM150 per day and they need 2 days off per month. So a month comes to RM4.5K.

Agreed that average wage earner or even normal business people can't afford nursing home.

A friend, wealthy I would say, paid 12k per month for his mother in a nursing home locate at Jln Tun Razak. After 8 months, she left.

I'm worrying it's gonna be this way soon with my father, which we doesn't get along with and is a very difficult person to deal with. If I can't stand him at the moment, I wonder how I can cope with him if those things happens?

When the time comes, the sick cannot say anything but to accept his condition. The caregiver will just accept that his parents is now going through his final days.

with declining birthrate, this is a future....make sure you have alot of money before you check into a nursing home

taking care of old people is pain, turns even kind people into bad people

Alot of money is only good for seniors who are medically fit.

When one is sick, alone and with plenty money in the bank, he still needs another to manage his money ... make payments for all his needs. Whether is children, relatives or friends.
