So my nan has not been well for a while and she has been in the hospital for some time after falling on her ribs! The social decided to move her into a care home for a trial. Yes a care home , a prision for the elderly. They are not pretty, boring, smelly and dull. I have had experience in many ,with other family members, but this care home seemed a bit different. Maybe it's because I study health and I'm learning the procedes what need to be done for the best health, or maybe this care home is actually lovely! My nan however misses her home , the scariest part of a care home is seeing people lose there identify.
I began to think what care homes will be like in the future, or would there be any atall.
This came to mind, being old and losing the ability to walk would mean sitting in a chair all day. In the care home thats what they do, all sit together and watch the same tv! I would hate to watch the same programmes as everyone else, deal or no deal (Kill me now) A system like this would be so much better! Consoles attached to the tv , which could change into a computer, wireless keyboards and mouses. Webcam installed so you can skype to friends from across the room or even abroad. A table so you can draw, write letters, do puzzles... play DS (5DSXXL)
Maybe in a couple of decades this will happen, the electric bill would be high, but everyone would be happy.
