While I was doing my laundry today I was talking with the woman who lives above me. She was concerned because we have so many tenants who are disabled but probably not the type of people who should be living on their own. In our lease it clearly says that you have to be self-sufficient to take care of yourself. Living here should be like living in any other apartment building. Not assisted living. Though many of the people who are here now seem to need assistance.
I don't see anything that can be done about that. They either have to be in assisted living or a group home. And would my son fall under that too? Well, maybe if he was under a doctor's care. But with no doctor, I don't think anyone can force that onto him. The others here though, don't bother me that they live here too. They are younger than most of us and most of them go to some kind of program.
Many of us seniors though, have aides to help mainly with housework. So that would mean we are not self-sufficient either. I figure why even talk about it? I understand she was worried about a fire when one of them are cooking. But that could happen when anyone is cooking. Someone taking a medication could fall asleep and forget they have something on the stove.
Yes, you will! You will! Think positive, and positive things happen.
