Elderly

[John]

I posted this here as I could not find anywhere else that seemed right.

We are talking POST SHTF.
Never mind how long after but we all get old, well usually, and we all die. Today we have an increase in the numbers of elderly and many have problems like dementia and become very frail. Mobility often becomes a major problem.

So we are still going to have elderly in our society so what are going to do with them?

One of the major reasons for our elderly ending up in hospital and or car homes today is because we cannot cope them, we do not know how to handle them.

As an example my father in law tried to look after my mother in law, very admirable, he married her all those years ago and took it seriously. Unfortunately when we visited one time we found her covered in bruises. No he was not ill treating her, it was where he had 'bounced' her up and down the stairs each day, it was the only way he could move her and he did not want to ask for help.

So question is how would you cope POST SHTF with the elderly?
