[aging] the dilemma of the elderly

Reported by Conservative Home some days ago: "David Cameron will today promise to end the 'national disgrace' of the elderly being separated from their families and sent to die in care homes he calls grey ghettoes. The Tory leader will pledge that a Conservative government would shake up the housing laws to make it easier for old people to live with their loved ones." - Daily Mail One hopes it really will amount to more than pre-election words but I can’t see how he’ll change the practice. The problem stems from how the middle-aged view the elderly and how far they deal with the ‘burden’ they see old people as being. I really hope against hope that Cameron can make a difference.
