Caring for Elderly
- Share via
Well, well, well. I see newspaper reporters are writing all kinds of stories about the elderly (“Elderly Being Abused in O.C.,” May 21).
What I want to know is, what is anyone doing about it? What about the elderly living in mobile home parks? These people are 70, 80 and a few 90 years old. Some are alone with hardly any income and few people looking out for them.
I have been doing what little I can, but all I’ve run into is lip service from our elected politicians.
