Nursing Home/ Day Rehab under ur void deck

likenly any childcare and infant care center under the void deck, the nursing home or day rehab proposed is for the convenience of the residences. i can't empathise with the residents that objected the building of such facilities in their estates or under their void decks. if the objection is just for the sake of objection, pardon me but i think such people need to be whack! if they see no problem with building of childcare and infant care why are they objecting to elderly care? i am saying this not because i am a health care worker but because i am a human with aging parents and also in the process of growing old myself.

aside from the fact that singapore is facing a growing number of elderly (who, mind u, had contributed lots to the building of the nation), singapore is also a nation of limited land! instead of building wider, we have but no choice to build taller. and to squeeze out enough for all? its near impossible, so why not use up the space under the blocks? those old chaps aren't going to be kicking their footballs and staining the walls and making a din nor will they smoke and drink under the block and thus leaving smelly waste/ rubbish. they will be cared by the health workers and the noise will possibly be lesser than the current?

since lots of singapore families are small in nature, who is left to care for the aged when the middle aged go out to work? the maid?!? well... i bet she can't really handle the young toddler + the housework + the old folks (worst still if anyone of the old folk is either ill with cancer or dementia) if singaporean had such uproar against the ex- minster of health suggesting outsourcing the ah gong or ah ma to some nursing homes in muar or johor baru why are they so angry abt housing this ah gong and ah ma nearer home??!?! far away from home also grumble, nearer home also grumble.

i had seen patients in my work area that had to be send to nursing home or community hospital post acute medical care setting because they family doesn't have the ability and the facility to care for the patients at home but do the family members really wish to walk down that path? NO!! those old folks had been a great help previously at home! i heard the family members telling me the fond memories of how ah ma had cared for her 3 grandchildren raising them from birth til primary sch (ah ma still call her youngest grandchild to chill him over the great fat zero he got from his spelling test while in hospital post op!!) and how another family's son in law regreting that he may never be able to taste ah ma's cooking now that she is to be institutionised. most of these families will request for us to seek placement for this old folks in a home/ Com hosp. nearest their home. but sadly, beds availiability for such locations (near housing estates) are not plently, if there is..cost may be an issue. i heard of patient's family members visiting the patient almost daily because they miss the old folk but if the location is far, the mind is willing perhaps the body is weak? having a nursing home or day rehab under ur void deck will not only allow the old folks a place to stay, it will enhance the family bonding among those in singapore.

honestly singapore resident PLs.... wake up ur idea!! too many foreigners- u complaint, low pay- u complaint, build nursing home- u complaint, high tax- u complaint, give u the chance to make things rite- u shrink away. so high and mighty?? need to be served hand and foot?? if this continue... singapore will be left to die literally!! then this land may be good only for building of cermeteries and such... oh... i forgot cermetery no need to build, just leave the land be...for filling up. no building = no noise/ dust... not a bad idea hor?
