Do you sometimes feel depressed but then?

[George McCasland]

I've lived in a nursing home for over 2 years. I've seen it all here. The woman in the next room has Downs Syndrome and in low functioning. She is here due to an injury, but she lives in a home for those who cannot take care of themselves. She does not understand why she is here, so she screams a lot.

In my two years, 5 roommates have died. The first from cancer, but he had the opportunity to see his son, to whom he had not seen in 26 years, due to the mother running off with another man. I found the son on Facebook.

There a ones on long term ventilators. One little old lady is spry, can stand, and easily move around, but only as far as the hose attached to her throat can reach.

Over half of those in nursing homes have no close relatives, so they are completely alone. Nobody in society cares about us.
