Assisted living type of home

[Danbones]

Yeah, the mental problems often turn out to have missed physical causes, or they have them on the wrong drugs while they thrash around looking for the right answer, and that can be a big problem too while those people wander around in the mean time.

We have a large mental health hospital near by, and a super jail, so we get some of the pegs that don't quite fit those holes, but the shelter here is pretty solid. Clean, well fed, it's a peaceful town, decent community...not too many homeless people haters. But not a lot of casual jobs that people can start up with from the street.

Welfare office is on the ball here. Wish I could say that about the ODSP system...The mental health system lets a few slip through the cracks too...

The trouble is we have a 14 person limit for over nights, after that where do you put them?
There is also a collage here too, so we fight with them for long term spaces too.

Combine orphanages and old folks homes into one unit and have the 12-16 being a major part of who the care givers are.

Combine those two with your local electrical utility and you can put the orphans and old people to work in tread mills generating electricity during peak demand periods,

Yup, that's about 250 watts times 8 hours a day plus overtime

What the hell else they gonna do when the robots take over?

That is our ad. This is the place that I live and we have a lot of rooms available because people do not want to relocate.

Until Globull warming kicks I don't expert anyone to want to move to Ontario. A rasin warehouse in igloo country just isn't good for old bones.

I volunteer with the homeless here in Midland Ont, many are on disability or old age.
We have a hard time finding empty places to put them.

How are you with druggies, pill heads, alcoholics, and somewhat slow or slightly insane people or various combinations there of...?
( most are not too bad while on their meds)

Well, we are having trouble placing a one legged heroin addict and some single fathers.

Hey! You guys have a yarn factory outlet nearby!!!

Perfect!

To answer some of the questions you have is hard to do. I will tell you more about our place and you can see if it fits for any of your clients. I may not be 100% correct on everything as I am only a resident/volunteer. First off we are able to keep our costs down as we do not hire PSWs, our staff are just regular workers. Our clients have outside agencies come in and assess them and provide some of the services needed. We are not like a nursing home we are more like a group home. We have elderly people, one person in a wheelchair and I am one of about 3 people that use a walker. We have a wheelchair ramp to the main floor of the house and on the main floor you will find the kitchen, dinning room, TV room and about 15 resident rooms. We have people that suffer with depression, addictions, and schizophrenia so there is a wide assortment of people. We have a zero tolerance of alcohol and drug use in the building and smoking is only permitted outside. The rooms are different sizes so it is hard to include a price, I believe the price range is between $900 and $1500 a month depending on the size of the room and the services needed. My suggestion since Midland is only 185km from Listowel is that someone might be interested in coming for a visit to see just what we have to offer. It would be another option for any of your clients willing to relocate. We have a total of about 49 rooms in the big house and another 6 or 7 in the rooming house next door. We have lots of rooms available as we only have about 50% occupancy.
And yes we have a yarn mill and discount store close by. Spinrite it is about 3 to 4 blocks from the house. I walk over there myself with my walker. Great place.

Elder care will be a massive industry in the very near future.

A friend of mine shopped for a place for his dad who required more specialized care than what he could deliver. Nothing super intense, but basically wanted a place with access to folks that could be there at all times.

The costs he came across were anywhere from $4,000 to $7,000 a month.

WHATTHEFUK??????????????????? I hope I die before I get old. I,m not paying that kind of coin to have my diapers changed. I'll just keep doing it myself.

Being assisted for 4 to 7 grand a month? I'd rather be beaten and robbed.

You probably will be anyway, even after shelling out 80 grand a year.

I have a 91 year-old Mother in-law who also happens to have O.C.D. She still has most of her faculties, no dementia, but she is now at an age where she needs help with everything including bathing. We need to invest more in assisted living for seniors.

You are absolutely right after all it is people like your 91 year old mother in law that worked and built this country. We need to honor them for that.
