Forgive me but I feel my hair receeding, my gotee growing, and my urge to rant expanding my ample breast--Ooops now it is a chest --- I am now truly the Evil One. Let the rants begin.
Subject concerns in home care of elderly and disabled adults
10/6/03 Flint Journal dateline Det. Headline: Concerns mount over plan to cut Adult Home Help funding. The article say the DCH says the cuts would save $17 million by reducing the number of hours and wages the state pays for people who can’t care for themselves. If these people need help only with things such as meal preparation, taking medication, shopping, laundry and housework then cut the money is their cure. Right, but elderly or disabled adults tend to forget to eat, can’t obtain and transport goceries, sometimes sleeping in a dirty bed-in dirty clothes takes less energy, and take medications if I can’t remember to eat I sure am not going to remember my medications.
So here we have unwashed people dying from malnutrition and lack of medication in dirty surrounding but we saved $17 mill.
Skip the “out of country aid, the hush money, the rebuilding countries” --that will kick us in the teeth in a couple of years, Uncle Sam. Spend the money here. It makes for better care, more jobs for the able-body people, and rebuilding your image in your OWN people eyes.
