This group should be accessable by internet to be really usefull. My Grandparents are 88 and 90 and totally pissed about being old. My mom is 60 and a very up beat person that is very young at heart, but her parents (my grands) are making her sad and crazy. They are in a very nice independant living center in the North-west. It is so wierd for them to act so nasty these last years as they have become frail. I know other people their age, and none of them are acting like total babies. Sorry for the rant…they are treating everyone really badly. Just so you know, the grandparents were needing the paramedics at their house Every Day. That is why they are in the posh apartment now. No body is ignoring them or talking down to them. OMG, these two were partying with Frank Sinatra in the 50’s….they whupped it up. Perhaps that is where the frustration comes from.

I don’t want to send them to a nursing home. I’ve worked in nursing homes/ long-term care facilities, and I know what they’re like. But I’m having a hard time stretching the money I make in taking care of them and myself, paying bills and so on. I want to save money for myself. I also want to travel, enjoy something of life. I also want to relocate and buy my own house. I am single and it’s hard managing on my own. I can’t rely on some Prince Charming to rescue me and save the day. I feel really miserable, unhappy, overwhelmed and depressed. I don’t know what to do.

down. People around her called and rushed her to the hospital. Her dog, still remained in the enclosed “little dog section”. A friendly young lady, who the elderly lady had befriended, took the dog for safe keeping. Another “dog” couple went to the hospital to be with the elderly woman. I supposed they know her and know how to contact one of the daughter’s. How’s that for caring about other people’s dog, who goes to the same section often enough to be noticed. It’s nice to know that SOMETIMES people are very thoughtful.
I would have taken the dog myself, but I came on the scene afterwards. I would want someone to do the same for me, if the situation warranted it.

I take care of an elderly woman who cant always to the bathroom at night. But when I get her up in the morning her whole room smells like urine, and travels thought out the house. I always put water in her Pot . Ive tried putting Bleach in it but is just smell like bleach and urine. Is there something I can mix with the water when I refill her pot that can deodorize the smell. Someone recommended the littel blue tablet disc BUT putting a new one of those everytime and empty her potty would extremely expensive.
Let me clarify. The problems isnt cleaning the pot. When she useing is at night the pee sit for hours, it fill the entire room with the smell until I com ein the morning.

I want something that I can put in the water each time, to keep the smell from traveling ovenight.

Something with a plesant smell, BLEACH and PINE sOl have to strong of a smell for her room
