  2. I think you have missed one important aspect of friendships over 70 - loss. I'm introverted and have never had a big social circle, just a few close friends. My four closest friends have all died, people I have been closed to for decades, 6 decades in one case. I still don't want lots of superficial friends but I do regret having no really close friends left.

  3. This is a great way to do things.

  4. Thank you for your insight into living in a nursing home……… I have lived independently for many years, I cook, clean, do my own shopping etc; I love the freedom to go out and come home as I please, also I love my garden, I spend hours just pottering, planting and digging the soil. I’m approaching my 82nd birthday……… I value my freedom and independence beyond anything else, living in a nursing home fills me with dread and your experience has confirmed my determination to remain independent. In short I’m doing just fine as I am and God willing I will continue to do so. Much love and God bless you. From a Scot living in England 🇬🇧

  8. My mother was in a nursing home after my dad died. We first placed her in a personal care facility but then she had a stroke. I tried to visit her as often as I could while holding down a full time job & caring for a family. No one wants to place their loved one in a nursing home but sonetimes you don't have a choice. My mother passed away at almost 91. As for me I never want to live in one. I'd rather die earlier in life & never have the need to be in one for the reasons you stated. Thank you for this video so ppl don't think they're going to a resort.❤

  14. I had three family members in nursing home, a lot keep me so up set, I visitofter just to see what was going on, I just done what they needed, take them a piece cake and drink, they loved it, I’d fix their hair if needed, I saw the smile leave their face, not enough help was a big problem, I’m 87 now hope I never have to go. I’m blessed to do all my wor, go where I won’t to, thank you Lord.

  17. My daughter is such a spoiled brat growing up. Ms entitled. Now she’s 31 only call when she need help. “I reply to her, you missed your parents when you need something “. But I still help her with little stuff because I’m a mother. Now she’s embarrass to call or even text me. My life is full of activities hope she does the same wherever she is.

  18. I know in m y heart that loneliness can be ver y hard in a person. But in your house you have a world to see ❤and.enjoy I see my trees enjoy putting water to the❤❤ birds everyday, see the sky, walk around my.house is a world nobody tells me what to do I am free and enjoy it while I can we have to think positive everyday and even laugh about ourselves is a sense of happiness, don't give up.

  19. I do the reset before bed because it is nice to wake up to a clean home. I also put things away as I go. I have also created a space for everything. I keep the things that have meaning or items that I use. One trick that helps with dish washing is to put the items that don't need much scrubbing in the dish washer and let pans or bowls with stuck on food soak for about 10 minutes. I let the water do the work. While things are soaking, I make a bed or take my shower etc. When I done with that, I check on the items soaking. Most of the time the food comes right off. I donate books to charity once I've read them and only keep the ones I love or are good reference materials. I also donate clothes that don't fit or look good on me. I go though my house pretty often to see what I can donate. In fact, that is on my agenda today.

  20. Hope You stay safe and be content till the end. BLESSINGS 🌹🙏🇲🇽🤗❤️

  25. Thank you so much for sharing these valuable & essential tips and subtle warnings. I am certainly noticing some signs now in both my husband & I. Makes me appreciate my husband more. I have already lost my daughter from a congenital heart defect at the age of 24 as well as my baby brother from cancer and they both experienced most of these changes & subtle warnings. Thank God for those precious moments that I spent with both of them. One never gets over the death of a loved one.

  26. I learned about a great way to lose weight without a diet and it worked. First when you wake up in the morning after you go to the bathroom drink a glass of water 8 oz Oz I continue to drink an 8-oz glass of water throughout the day each and every hour up until dinner time if there's physical activity you may need to increase that water second thing get a good night's sleep on interrupted at least 7 to 8 hours if you can third first 30 days cut out sugar cut out sugar after that your body needs a little sugar but make it small fourth cut back on carbs eat them for breakfast and lunch for dinner have a meat or fish product with vegetables and 5th exercise by walking I promise you if you follow that you will feel so much better you will lose weight and you will feel healthier than ever is work for me I lost 100 lbs and I can't even tell you how much better I feel but this video was so wonderful to listen to thank you for this beautiful video information informative and good luck to everyone out there remember starting something new isn't easy sometimes but if you can do it you will look back and say thank God I did God bless everyone

  27. YES I need to drink more water especially first thing in morning These are extremely helpful suggestions Habits need to be broken over time When I know better I do better. Million thanks

  28. I had to put my only sibling into a nursing home because I was getting too old to look after her as she had Alzheimer’s and was getting aggressive. She has been there for 3 years and I visit her every second day at different times of the day. I must admit, the carers have been wonderful, she has her own room and bathroom, unfortunately her precious watch and diamond ring were stolen. Generally the staff have been very helpful, often offer me meals whilst I am there etc. My sister is always clean, hair done showered every day. She is in a section of 12 with other Alzheimers patients, with Doctors and nurses on hand and at least 3 to 4 carers for the 12 patients. I looked at many places before I decided on this particular place, it was very heartbreaking to have to put her into care, but I feel she is in good hands and I thank the staff every day for the way the take care of her, a thankless job I think, not for everyone.

  29. Coming to you from El Sereno, CA (aka Los Angeles) this video was great. The saddest moment I remember was seeing a elderly grown man being wheeled into a rest home on a gurney. Knowing he may NEVER come out again. Here in El Sereno we are taking care of my friends 102 yr. old mother. It isn't easy. She is ungrateful and entitled brat. My friend is 80 yrs. herself and her sister that was taking care of the mom died for obvious reasons. God put me here to help out I know for sure. And I help with the two dogs who love me.

  30. Seniors frequently lack money to update wardrobe!

  31. I'm 70 and don't want people who I know have never really cared about me, around me. I've already decided who will receive my house and all my money 🤑💰... And it's not them!😂😂😂
    26
  32. Your advice holds true from the day they were born, not when they have grown up. You started that disrespect from day one. Set your boundaries and expectations and don't change them.

  33. Thank you for the good information. I am 77 .🙏🙏 GOD bless you.

  34. What an awesome story I’m 75 and I’m having trouble I have to use a walker. I have a wheelchair in the house, but I’m also a veteran and they have helped me tremendously, but I’m still falling and I can’t seem to get help too quickly. I do call the fire department and they can come to the house and pick me up, but that doesn’t stop me from falling. I’m really scared cause I’m alone. I lost my only husband five years ago. We were married for 50 years I’ve never been too active, but I’ve always worked. I’m just scared. I’m afraid that I’m gonna lose everything. What about the money that I’ll lose it coming to a nursing home I know it’s expensive. Thank you for this informative video.

  37. My mother was placed in a nursing home. she was 93 and was healththy congition tests were given, she passed the test. I went to visit and i passed right by her and didnt recognize her. I went and asked the nurse. Where is my mother. SHE IS OVER THERE. Mom was shivering and almost naked with her gown hanging down over her knees. I got a blanket and took her back to her room. She said, i have been sitting there all day. I told the nurse do not take her out of her room and please feed her. The next day my siste called and she had passed away to glory. I was in shock. I felt the system killed her. Im still grieving her death. Thank You for reading.

  39. Hi I thought about going into assisted-living. I had a stroke back in 2021 and still feel like I haven’t recovered from it. I’m only 56 and have my stroke at 53. When I was in the hospital recovering from my stroke I hated it. It seems what I went through in the hospital. It’s much like you describe your nursing home to be. I lost my dignity, there’s nothing like wearing a diaper when you’re only 56 or at the time I guess I was 53 and meals were almost brought to me. I didn’t have a choice. I was on a low sodium, a.k.a. no taste meal plan. I was always woken up early in the morning so they could do blood work. My medication was brought to me and a tiny plastic container and the nurses always watch me. Take it to make sure I was taking them all. This was during Covid times so I wouldn’t be able to leave the room. Plus because I had a stroke, I couldn’t go to the washroom independently, a nurse owes had to be there to make sure it didn’t fall. I think maybe you should’ve gone to a seniors home instead of a nursing home. Here in Canada anyway a senior living home is meant for people that want some independence, but you can also have someone come in and clean your house or I mean your apartment or you can have meals delivered or cook your own food and there’s activities that you can do, you can go on shopping chips or even to casino or maybe even concerts or shows and then you don’t have to worry about the driving because they will drive you. Thank you for this video.

  44. I am 79 and I walk 8-9 miles every day outside come rain, wind, or shine. I walk 4 miles by myself and 4-5 miles with my dog. Prior to walking I ran for 34 years in 100 degree heat, 30 below zero , rain (to include Thunderstorms), snow (to include blizzards), and wind(to include gusts of 50mph+). I competed in 10K, marathons, 50 milers, and 100K(meaning I raced these events). I have run 75,000 plus miles. I changed to walking because I blew out my right knee lifting a heavy parcel on my job. I went through 3 procedures(to include 2 knee replacements). Therefore, I walk. I basically eat what I want. I love to bake and actually am pretty good at it.
    22
  45. You said if you needed something, you could push a button and help would come (I may have worded this differently) Those call buttons usually are ignored. The staff are always busy. I’m 85 today and tire of having to care for myself and 2 cats, and all my monthly finances, doctors visits, and other things. BUT I decided years ago I cannot leave this and go to a nursing home! Life may change for me and I won’t have a choice but today I am in my own home. My parents and husband were in a nursing home and I regret that! Thanks for this video so folks know to think about it first.😮

  48. Number two and number four I’ve always slept on my back, but now after your video, maybe I’ll have to try sleeping on my left side. My mom lived to be 100 years old. She just died in 2024 and she almost made it at 1:01. I don’t know if I wanna live that long because I already have lots of complications. I had a stroke when I was 53. I have high blood pressure and diabetes. I’m already living a senior‘s life because I don’t go to work anymore because of my health complications, but I go to sleep when I want and I eat when I want and I eat whatever I want. I try and have a balance diet with fruit and some vegetables And not a lot of red meat. It’ll be nine years before I’m 65, but I already feel like I’m a senior just because of that stroke.

  49. We are 77 here. In our own home and never want to go into a nursing home. I have never seen one I liked. You have to give up so much of your own autonomy. This video is very correct on all 6 points and kudos for making it so others can see what happens to elder people. Stay in your own home as long as possible. It is hard but well worth the effort. We are happy living where we are today.

  50. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, you expressed all of my concerns, now more determined to stay vibrant and enjoying my life. Thank You Again.
