Canada Seniors & Aging Citizens History & Civil Business Politics

Baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 so this means they are now between 68 and 50, that means over half of them are retired if not 75%. This has not crept up it has been in the process for over 60 years! It has just been ignored with the hopes that the people would be dead by now as historically would have been true. These people are the first round receiving good heath care and health education to prevent major heal diseases.

The second problem is that unlike their parents they were more interested in wealth gain and personal toys that they tended to smaller families who intern were even more self centered then they last generation and had even less children. They were well aware of this as indication by the loser and more encouraging immigration laws created to off set this issue.

Also could I suggest this man be locked up for cruelty to other humans as well as failing to provide life's basic necessities.

There is a cost but I agree we as Canadians need to say hey cut out the space program and lets feed our hungry and look after the elderly as they have cared for us.

Latina I will try to answer some of your questions as well.

"In your experience who are the best known Senior Citizens Care Homes in Canada?"

You can ask they local health inspection office for results on home for the elderly. It provides whether they see bed sores how clean is it but not how nice are the staff or the managers who run the place.

As far as to how a person selects where to send the elderly it is mostly advertisement and word of mouth. Like looking for a place to rent you must go interview the place and observe what you see. The sneak back in and talk to those who live there are they scared are they happy or do they want out as soon as possible.

Senior home care is very expensive in my area you can bank on 3 to 5000 dollars CDN a month if they have on staff medical care. In more remote areas this can be cut by half. There is some assistance provided for those who have lower income as well as lower end home care facilities (Rent a room rather then an apartment.)

In Ontario when you hit 65 you receive the Canada pension which is based on how much you put in each month over your working life. People with high wages pay more annually and receiver a higher rate. Either way it is a very modest income making survival vs easy life retirement. Best to get out of Toronto area and live further out where house is much cheaper. I found this on line to give a better idea on the amount. Quoted from CPP web site, " In March 2013, the average monthly amount for new retirement pension (Taken at age 65) was $596.66 and the maximum amount in 2013 is $1,012,50." Ont op of this if you are low income (No private investments) is old age security. I think it adds about half again. This is per person so a couple would double the value. If a spouse dies you get their survivors benefit as well.

At 65 you also go on the government medical plan. It is as good or better then many had when they worked but it is not completely free either. You pay a flat rate each year to the drug store 100 to 200 dollars. Then each prescription is 2 dollars after that. So if your on medicine then it is affordable. Health wise it is the same as when you worked OHIP cover your doctor. I think dental and such is very limited if any.

Any specifics I would be glad to try and answer them.

If the mother wishes to die she will, wilfully chose not to eat. With the new assisted suicide law one might be wise to put you wishes in writing in your living will.
