Who will take care of our dementia patients?

This was so predictable, and yes, it affects my own family.  Who takes care of our elderly?  Who staffs facilities for “memory care,” as it is euphemistically called?  Who serves the food in those facilities, cleans the bathrooms, and empties the bedpans?  And does all those tasks with kindness and for little money.


You know the answers.  Immigrants.  The people being deported.  


Check out the front page of today’s Times.  The article is by Miriam Jordan and is titled “Migrant Policy Creating Crisis for Elder Care.”  I hope you don’t have any relatives or friends who are affected.  I do.
