This forum is part of Carers UK and all the topics are rightly to do with the situation in the UK with our NHS and Social Services etc but I have just read a novel set in India where bigger families living together 'look after' those who need care. I used the '' on pupose because in this particular novel when Granny got rambling and difficult they chained her to the wall. Now I'm not suggesting this is right (it was in a novel!) but it did set me thinking about how other countries/cultures are dealing with increasing caring needs.
Does anyone have any knowledge or stories of anywhere else? North, South, East or West?
Are there any good ideas we could copy? Or routes not to follow?
Just opening this topic for general discussion and gentle horizon staring...
