Sad as it is to think about, there may come a time in all our lives when we or a loved one will require long term care. It is not something I thought we would ever have to be faced with at the young age of 65, but here we are, and I am just trying to live a modest life on the little income I am left with. The Government gives you a subsidy, they calculate the cost for your loved one care and leave you with very little to try and maintain your home and live a modest life.
We have to take a stand, these antiquated calculations need to be updated, if not for us then lets do it for the next generation

How can we upkeep a home and pay for food plus medication on what we have left.
times have changed so should the outdated subsidy's,
There is no excuse for the paltrey pennies given to long term care. It is time we got rid of these pennies and rounded up.
Our seniors deserve more than to have to go without necessities in what is suppose to be their golden years.
This is not fair,As a senior this could happen to anyone of us,,
What someone should live off of is very outdated
Take a minute and sign your name, together we can make a difference!

I have lived 6 1/2 yrs while my husband was in long term care. During this period I dealt not only with the stress of having a sick spouse, but also with all the stressors associated with daily living on your own, extreme limited income, and dealing with the bureaucracy of long term care issues.
