In my vast experience with any authority, I've found that they can be likened to the flow of water / Electricity when they are faced with a task that is beyond their personal intellect. They take the Path of least resistance as they set into motion the usual `rear guard ` deployment which then becomes the camouflage of `being seen to be doing`, though the real outcome is to pass the situation on to some other authority who will take the path of least resistance. I name this saga as "being put on a carousel". The individual who tried to get their concerns rectified from the start is given a seat ! The carousel starts off at a snails pace to be tested for their patience and endurance; this is designed to confuse and defeat. The most vulnerable in this `battle` are usually the Elderly, though there are many more concerned people who ride the carousel in Hope.
The revolutions of the carousel are then increased so that those with weak grips are flung off and start to feel that their mental health is being abused so it's better to just forget the whole thing !
My web site is the product of many years of fighting this `wheel of bad fortune`, mostly for the Vulnerable Elderly folk who are alone without a voice or any way of discovering any assistance. Many are now Widowers / Widows after years of caring for their loved one and their lives have rotated around the total 24 hour care for years which made it impossible to find some kind of release for a few hours a week in a hobby or any other activity other than their role as a full time devoted carer. They never would be heard to complain.
The elderly are proven strong and independent people who would rather give than take, but now they are discriminated against at every turn as their pure qualities are taken for granted.
( They don't want to be a nuisance ) This is a well known remark that all authorities are well aware of.
Care in the community for the Elderly Mentally Impaired, is my next long drawn out saga I'll be chatting about soon... An appalling state of affairs.....
But in this `site` I'm opening a forum to try to bring together all those left alone who have latent hobbies that can be reactivated again in complete trust and loyalty amongst new friends here. I'm fully aware that many elderly folk will not have access to the WWW, but I'm hoping to bring together the whole community / Neighbours who only have to knock on the door of those who they think will relish the idea of a new life amongst like minded friends.
This could grow to many local groups visiting each others home to share wisdom. I will always be here for phone or mail or even personal visits. My remaining time on this planet is to put the brakes on the `Carousel` and turn it into an international roller coaster.
My pain is your gain.
Even those who are just entering the long trial of dementia of a loved one can be helped to understand what the signs are and how to handle them before they are full blown, can find this site a valuable friend.
