June 17: ‘Let’s not throw out good in search of perfection.’ Should RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki resign? Plus other letters to the editor GlobeDebate
: I believe the frail elderly are not safe at home with the sporadic home care that government or most private income resources are able to provide. Even when they don’t require 24-hour care, they still need constant support and supervision. Guess who usually provides it? Women in the family who should be working or would like to be working, or are making herculean efforts to continue working outside the home.
Columnist André Picard’s plea for better home care should be cross-referenced with statistics on women who have to work part time or retire early in order to care for elderly family, thus injuring their own mental health and retirement prospects. Let’s look for a new way forward. How about decent accommodation and care in smaller, more home-like, congregate settings?We are used to financial gurus gleefully glorifying disruptive forces in our economy.
In this shaky pandemic world, such pulmonic metaphorical dysphoria can be enough to pop my tender coronal suture.
