for those keen to know how the therapy works, why not volunteer your time and witness the pre and post effects of the therapy by volunteering your time to accompany those elderly from senior care centres along for the therapy. 

there are dogs and cats therapy, but how many owners are able to bring their pets on a regular basis during weekdays to bring cheers to the elderly?

all these therapies need some level of commitments from various stakeholders, but, just how many are willing to do it. 
 

 

Have you done your Advance Medical Directive?

 

Life’s too short to be worried or pissed off all the time. It’s just not worth it.

 

Not just AMD, include the following:-

1) ACP : Advance Care Planning

2) LPA : Lasting Power of Attorney

 

It will save immediate family alot of emotional upheaval.

Hi guys,

 

First time trying to rent a car in Bangkok

 

Anything to look out for and which are the more reliable rental agents

 

What is the total deposit required and additional charges? E.g. how much is their insurance with 0 excess

 

And I read just produce our Singapore driving licence will do

 

I check for 5 days 4 nights at Hertz is less than sgd $200 for yaris equivalent .

 

Likely moving only around bangkok, yes I know mrt is easier but intend to try out driving a car in bangkok

 

i would not suggest driving inside Bkk. certain parts of the road becomes 1 way during peak hours. if u drive accidentally drive in, be prepared to pay. don't drive during beginning & end of the mth especially at night, pay day the locals tend to spend on booze. drink driving accidents quite high during these time of the month. n if u hv to drive in Bkk, be extra careful around buses & motorbikes. they don't signal.

 

n seriously get IDL, don't give police a reason to detain you during road blocks just bcos u don't hv it. i know certain rental coy might say no need but why risk it.  (hv experienced it afew times)

 

hv fun driving in Bkk.

 

Hi Philip, for MRSA colonised patient commuting on private sharing transporter.

 

Can you please advise the safety precautions to be taken by the patient and transport provider? Thank you very much.

I didn't say it is not good. In fact, I have done one up as well.

 

But I wouldn't go kaypo in my uncle's business and worry about whether or not he has a will, whether his children are going to fight for his flat after he dies, etc.

 

Not saying/asking you to kaypoh...just friendly advice to your cousins or anyone :)

 

 

Uh. Why be so kaypo unless it is a close uncle and he has promised the flat to you?

 

Uncle has 2 children - w/o a will, the flat will be split 50-50. If his cousins wanna fight then let them fight lor. By asking him to get a will, he will be putting himself in the firing line if there is really a dispute later on.

 

it is good to do up LPA. saved tonnes of red tape should they lose their mental capacity when that day comes. if certified mentally incapacitated, then will face some issues.

 

thanks for the explanation ...

 

i really don't know what my dad wants right now ... but luckily he managed to get warded last night at the hospital again. at least we can now "regroup" and plan what we can do.

 

he is not eating as he says no appetite as the food tastes "bland" ??  my mom spends hours braising meat for him and he still complains.

 

all he wants now is to just remain lying in bed for the rest of his time ... 

 

i do not have experience with them...just sharing

Yup, thatz why we got a helper and it cost just 50% of that.

 

But when helper go home, we place my mum in the nursing home. No choice. Lucky both my bro and i share the cost. If one person only, I think will be struggling.

 

 

Engaging a helper for your mother was the best a child can do.

 

And if your helper planning on home leave which you should know in advance, I suggest you register early for respite care. Do not behave like those people who can plan way ahead for their own holiday and last minute scramble for a respite care. Regardless private or subsidised, respite care booking is not like booking a hotel room.

 

 

actually women work and men stay at home make the most sense in Singapore

 

given all the tax relief and working mother benefits and maternity leave etc

 

 

my so shared same thots and asked when can retire. i said only if he can get a place in msia where he can go fishing everyday n stay there alone cos only then can my miserly peanuts sustain his cost of living in msia. n he can contribute by finding his own food :P

TS, tap on your post to encourage those who know of people who have demented loved ones to check out the following link:

This young boy is indeed commendable and put many drivers especially those kaypoh who slow down n look at accident that happened IN THE OTHER DIRECTION n nearly cause accident in their own direction to SHAME!!!

 

Throw an accident, out of 10 drivers easily half are kaypoh n worse tailgater.

Seriously how many wld go investigate when they find pple recline bk in their car W engine running on a hot day?

 

I hv come across many drivers doing that at the open space carpark near my block. N I walked over n knock at their window giving them gentle reminders not to z in their car W windows wind up n engine running. Statistically, 8/10 bochap.

 

So, it is not surprising to find pple gg abt their own biz.

To renew interest in an old thread, for those MCFers who have loved ones especially those just diagnosed with mild dementia. Do take the time to read up as much as you can. A good movie to watch is Still Alice for those who want to know more about dementia.

 

Nursing home should not be an option and also take note that caregiver's welfare should not be neglected.

 

Just like those in palliative care, they rather be surrounded by their loved ones as their timer on Earth started counting.

 

Walk the last path with them as one day, you will be walking down the same path too.

Recently chance upon a market probably unknown to many. Blk 4A Jln Batu Mkt & Food Ctr.

 

This mkt has many WTM. So, my frens went around to try. N concluded the best WTM is the one facing Blk 7.

 

Besides, WTM they hv tasty duck rice also facing Blk 7. Porridge which only open in the mrng cos it is sold out by noon. I hv tried the Western stall, I can't recall exact name but it starts w alphabet "B", tasty n they dont use msg.

 

The mixed veg rice stall is also nice n value for $$$. They hv Malay stalls which I tried Mee Soto. But, I still preferred the one at AMK which is very popular for it's generous portion N yummy soup.

Workplace related accident due to negligence, MOM bring contractor to court.

F and B food poisoning related, NEA bring guilty to court.

 

Now health sector negligence causing death, let them settle their own discipline within the organisation..

For my own understdg, so WSH doesn't apply 2 hospital as they hv their own specific Act n that Act will covers all aspect including safety n health?

i thot for a while i saw only up to 'patients'...

I waitg 4 u to elaborate

...got any Act that protect/prevent them fm being sued?

i thought no root cause identified yet?

 

if no fault found then why are people punished?

 

 

hospital is considered stat board?

 

same protection as SAF?

WSH Act iirc exemption applied to SAF.

So is that a hospital act that prevents the dead patients' families from suing the hospital or not?

Hmm...i not trained but I do know we hv an Infectious Diseases Act.

 

Whether the deceased families' lawyer can use it to sue or not, i dono

Wah all those Acts under Statutes that r applicable 2 hospital still par geh or not??

I showed kampung spirit reportg illegal parking at resident lot thru the Fishball Stick Reportg Ctr w pict etc. Only to hv my area hdb to ask me to fill them in the dtails again, funny thing, their email to me hv all the dtails. Therefore, plse dont say that WE hv to wait for govt to initiate.
