Camden New Journal - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published:16 August 2007

Who cares for old folk?

• I AM writing for someone who is in very bad health and over 85 years old after reading in your journal how elderly people are treated.
She was left without a carer for a long time. Now she only has one every fortnight for laundry and a bit of cleaning. At other times she is left with rubbish for two weeks, as she cannot go downstairs.
She was left without shopping and she had nobody to take her repeat prescriptions to the doctor.
Thank god she has got two good nurses that sort it out for her.
The social services don’t care if you are dead or not since they still have their job and the carers are only there for the money.
I think old people could write a lot about what is going on with the social services.
