@@scorpionsensualtouch6214 that's a really nasty judgemental comment. You have obviously never been so down and out in your life before, that you don't have two cents to rub together. You have no idea what horrible conditions others go through, and why and how they ended up in those circumstances. Perhaps she, and other homeless people, did in fact have jobs, homes, money, previously....but they lost it all. Look how many millions of people have lost their jobs, homes, cars, their lives....due to covids destructive nature. Do they also need to be wrongfully judged by you and others, who perhaps have more than they have?

One of our volunteers belts out old timey tunes when he visits a client, who has dementia but still remembers music. All our deliverers buy birthday gifts for clients out of their own pocket. The sign of a strong society is one that takes care of its weakest members, and values them because of their humanity.

As a former care worker who cared for elderly patients, this broke my heart. Elders are a golden part of society, they fought for our rights today and they brought us all up. They do not, ever, deserve to be treated the way many are. Anyone who hurts a elder, should be locked up for years and years. Does not matter if it is financial, physical or whatever. Any negative action toward a elder, should be treated as a serious offence. So many people of elder age, could and can become so violently ill from the slightest negative action... It is something that needs to be remembered and addressed.

[@Suzy1959]

Obviously a strong independent and intelligent soul who likely didn't want to be a burden/ask questions with her benefits form when she likely reached out to ask for some assistance - God Bless her soul. We pay so much in taxes and it just seems that the elderly and homeless are just, well as the title, forgotten. Whereas you get all those benefits scroungers sucking thousands out the system - where as the others on the system truly needing help are punished by that system too.

You're damn right I'm selfish when it comes to my grandma! She was an amazing lady! Her mind is gone, she has no clue who I am but I still check in to see how she is doing weekly! When I am able to visit I spend every moment I can with her! So next time you decide to judge someone remember, you don't know the whole story! I wasn't complaining, I was simply commenting that it is sad so many people want nothing to do with our elderly. They have so much to offer, even my grandmother who has no memories of her family. She has joy and love to share! I cherish every moment I get to have with her! It breaks my heart that I can't see her everyday! Selfish? Yes I am!

In the U.S. every state (and Puerto Rico) has at least one Veterans home. My state, California, has five. One of my close friends who is now 87 resides at the location in Barstow. He's been happy there, and I've been impressed by the quality of the facility. Veteran homes in the U.S. are funded by both the VA and the individual states. They have been in existence here since after the American Civil War. It appears from the case of the elderly gentleman who was a combat veteran, shown in this documentary, Britain has no comparable system.

Why would anyone take their parents to a home or abandon them? They give birth to you, raise you up only for you to chuck them into a home or neglect them. Cursed lot!!!

Society needs to wake up to the truth and tragedy that befalls our Elderly today... This generation of people’s in all walks of life fought,with massive losses,in both World wars.... They need our respect and empathy towards them as they fought for our Freedom! Our elders are living lot longer lives now( and why shouldn’t they?) because of our medical care..... Unfortunately,sometimes they outlive their families and are left alone....I cannot think of anything sadder than that happening... I have had the honour of working in a Residential Home .....I I’m retired now and still miss them all... I had no grandparents alive so I treated them with the same empathy and respect that they deserved....just one really well cared home for elderly people who couldn’t thank us all enough for looking after them! I used to say to them...if it wasn’t for all the courage and determination that all these people had..we would probably have been made to live under a dictator of Evil and sadistic crimes....God Bless all of our brave warriors who conquered this evil....I wish that people now would treat our elderly with understanding and empathy and think....I could end my days in my home and nobody would know or care!

A society can judge itself on how it treats its children, its animals, those who may be vulnerable and also the elderly. The right of passage must ensue. These are the vulnerables of society and must be cared for as they have much to say if nothing else about human nature and the lessons they have learned. We must respect our elderly. It is so heartbreaking X

As an Asian person I swear on my life I will take care of my parents just like when they did me in my youth.

[@vtecpreludevtec]

blessyo4 In NZ we have lots of Pilipino s working in old ppls care,they have respect and are kind.

[@vtecpreludevtec]

blessyo4 ps I looked ur page,Mabuhay.

[@laurajuranek4415]

I hope so. Because I've seen a lot of documentaries about how the Asians are moving away and forgetting about their parents. Asians are known to take care of their parents, that's why it was so shocking for me to see that.

[@SwazersC]

whats being Asian got to do with the price of bread?

[@rubymones8933]

@@laurajuranek4415 yeah we leave them but doesn't mean we don't help them. We send money for them. I send monthly to my mum and my sister and bukid them a modest house. If i stayed in the Philippines I won't be able to help them financially.

I love the elderly. These Tory governments should hang their heads in shame for allowing this poverty in Britain and for allowing the closing of the Rest homes in Britain! -So sad.

I feel so angry and ashamed of this damed country!!! And all its so called government That we can treat poor elderly people this way Have they no conscience. They have lived And contributed to this country even fort for it and for what? To be abused to live on the streets or To be moved from home to home. There needs to be more programs about this subject to bring it To the forefront 😡😡😡😡😡😡

Growing up my grandfather lived with us until he died aged 95 (I was probably 13 at the time). He was a true gentleman, who wasn’t afraid to show his disapproval if people behaved in a poor manner. He was respected, cared for and loved by all the family, even as he became more frail in his final years. People who abuse the elderly are the most spineless and deserve the toughest prison sentences. I cannot believe the treatment some of these people have gone through whilst watching this

SHAME ON THE ROYAL FAMILY AND THE BRITISH GOV.🤮🤮🤮

[@dylanblack8487]

The royal family are too busy virtue signalling across the world to help their own people DISGUSTING!

[@deloresiles3416]

Most definitely

[@ann-mariebaker118]

Absolutely heartbreaking, especially where Fred hugged his grandmother's grave stone x

[@angelaberni8873]

I think an important lesson to be learnt here is to save money for your old age because you cannot and mustn't depend on anyone but yourself.

[@maliceintended]

I hate this world.

[@garysmith5268]

Never would have guessed from your handle. lol

[@florence1395]

Malice Intended why not do something to make it a little better? I’m sure these older people would love your time. Or maybe help the homeless.............if you prefer animals then animal rescues are always needing help! There is so much we can do, even if it’s just a little help!

[@jenxx8697]

Fleur I help homeless and this as made me want help the elderly more I been given masks and hand sanitizer out to them during pandemic but I want do more for them but I still sad at how selfish some are, my heart breaks for our elderly x
