Why this BLOG

As the header states, "Why This Blog?" During the period 2006 - 2011, as the main caregiver to my father, the experiences gained are tremendous which I am definitely sure caregivers to-be will find my sharing in the next section useful and helpful. On the one hand 'costs' is a factor as everyone out there is trying to jump on the lucrative business for elderly care.   Furthermore, one may ask where to get the 'real practical' experience rather than the 'ideal' which at times is not practical.


We are always disturbed with questions like:
​​​

• what to do when hospitalised
• should we go for second opinion?
• questions to ask doctors
• medical care - visits to doctors in hospitals and clinics, what to ask
• parkinson challenge
• pneumonia experience
• where to buy the equipment (wheelchair etc), consumables and disposable items
• how to make the home elderly friendly at affordable price
• home care vs nursing home? which is the right move?
• home nursing and specialists care?
• final journey
• where to give away the balance item medicine
