Nursing Home or Home with Private Nurse/Helpers

[a447]

There is no way I would think about going into a nursing home in what is basically a third -world country.

When the time comes perhaps I'll grab one of my regulars, take him back to Australia and have him take care of me.

Then he gets everything when I kick the bucket.

Win, win situation!

at least you can be sure there will be an abundance of buckets around - though I would be trying for low-floor accommodation

I was actually thinking about being cared for in my own home, not in a nursing home. And, putting a clause in the will stating that I had to die in bed. Of course, the bed would be firmly bolted to the floor. That should put an end to any concerns about having to quickly learn how to fly.

Yet if I ever got to the point of becoming a drooling vegetable I'd probably appreciate him taking things into his own hands and throwing me out the window!

What a lovely thought to wake up to. Thanks, a447!

Maybe even before.. hopefully.!

Hmmm based on your extensive world travels i think I’d like to apply for that carers position when the time comes as even the chump change left overs from your world whoring tours would I think be a pretty sum !

1 A nursing home in Thailand should cost less than the west & it wouldn't surprise me if the service would be better.

2 Some of the Thai hospitals have a very good reputation, although obviously those costs have to be paid somehow, whereas many of us expect free care in our home countries. [In the case of the UK, there is no sign of the political will to reform the Soviet structure of our healtcare system, despite the queues resembling those seen in Eastern Europe pre 1989. So I'm not convinced our healthcare system will maintain any kind of advantage. Many other western countries have a larger element of competition, so no worries there.]

So I think an open mind to Thai nursing homes is best.


Also, any of us planning to have a Thai boy care for them AND ensuring he stands to make a financial gain from our death needs to be aware of the incentives that this creates. Most people will be of good character, so nothing to worry about with them.

In Scotland we do the NHS much better, so your comments are only about your experience of the NHS in England - http://www.thenational.scot/news/158...about_others_/

Last year's disappointing result in the Courts about euthanasia means we have numbers of people who would prefer to be dead cluttering up the hospital system.
