Hi #Filipino #Diaspora

A FilAm friend’s family may send the Dad to the Philippines for #DementiaCare/treatment.

if anyone has resources, websites, contacts, anything please lmk. Caretaking for elders takes a mental and physical toll so I want to help her (family with information/options).

#dementia #seniorcare #caretaker

it is more likely they will seek care in the Philippines vs stateside so before I start REALLY DIGGING (she’s been scouring reddit), I thought to ask the internet.

The thing about the Maquis is that they were colonists on Cardassian territory worlds, which means they all had ties & families there. They weren't professional Star Fleet personnel who signed up for long term science missions, so it's really a miscarriage of character writing that the Maquis members of Voyager's crew were never more pissed or frustrated by their forced separation, and the eventual destruction of the Maquis by the Dominion.

The terrible circumstances around the deaths of Betsy Harakawa and her husband Gene Hackman is a sad reminder of the difficulty of being a caretaker and the risk of being isolated.

The fact that she died on February 11 and that no one noticed anything or checked up on them until February 26 is the most shocking thing to me.

Social isolation is a real issue that can have dire consequences.
