Care Homes scare me
As a 78-year-old Territorian who has been here since 1975, I fear contemplating a final years stint in a retirement home.
The various surveys, including the Royal Commission into Aged Care, have filled me with dread.
A primary focus of care is to make money from those in homes, especially where questions of equity about residential rights are considered.
Neither do I want to become a burden on others because of declining physicality or mental health.
I would much prefer to have access to the option of Voluntary Assisted Dying rather than ending up in institutionalised care.
We do not have access to VAD at the moment, so suicide has to be contemplated.
EDUCATION, A LIFE FORCE 
In your posts today, I notice your authenticity and transparency about the things that of concern to you at this point. thank you for sharing.
Henry, per favore, finiscila con questo discorso! Veramente, vorresti andare all’Inferno? Certe sofferenze provate ora in vita, servono a scontare i peccati commessi. Queste sofferenze serviranno a completare la croce, che servirà da ponte, per passare dalla terra al cielo.
I can’t get over the awfulness of what can become the endpoint of it all.
