Old people are being ripped off just from the cost of paying their share for medications, for essentials like depends. Good thing Harper doesn't have to pay for those things, maybe if he did, he'd realize how insulting it is to offer $50 for a Senior Citizen to support his uncaring regime.

Each time a doctor or nurse shows up, or a home support worker, details of that visit should be recorded. Don't trust your memory, get it down on paper, or something. The more records you keep, the better you can help the one you love.

Yet consistently, substitute workers seem incapable of basic caring skills. Such as claiming to know how specialized creams should be applied, when they don't even know what the creams are, that have been prescribed.

You really need to be focused on keeping notes, so you can give the doctor a clearer picture of how one is doing.

So, uh makes more sense to pay to cover meds that will prevent worsening conditions, than not. Course, when did our Government use common sense?
