Nine times out of ten, nursing homes are run as a profit organisation which means that the 'inmates' are just left to their own devices so long as their sons and daughters pay the fee. The man that kiwi describes is typical of a lot of people in these homes, they're bored, because no-one will listen, no-one wants to know. You get to a certain age and no matter what you've done for society, it doesn't matter and you're cast on the scrap heap. The carers don't listen because they either don't care, or don't have the time to, my Mother worked as a travelling social services home care around our town for a short time and she hated the fact that she had a strict timetable she had to keep to which gave her at the very most ten minutes per household! There is not a lot of care in the care business any more, which is a terrible shame because if we can't look after our elderly after they've spent their lives looking after us, then what the hell is going wrong?

Your right dude... These elderly people have a lot of cool old stories to share..

Oh, hey! I figure I do know what life is like in those places. I just saw a movie about it. What was that called again? Let's see...oh, yeah - Bubba Ho-Tep!
