The in home care package for my father finally starts next week. I rejected one about a month ago because the religious agency who were going to administer it sent a 'nurse' who 'prescribed' drugs to make him more compliant and they would continue to use that 'nurse'.

This week another agency sent a 'nurse' who 'prescribed' a specific drug. My Beloved was able to get advice from experts who advised against administering that drug, it would make him very passive, unable to make simple decisions, basically taking away all the dignity he has left.

Our priority is for him to live with as much enjoyment and dignity as possible. Fortunately I was able to reject the use of that drug without annoying the organizer too much. I am still slowly working on minimizing the interaction with that 'nurse'.

How are your elderly relatives being treated?

When you are unable to take care of yourself do want an organization funded by the government drugging you out of your mind?
