A serious question...
Can anyone tell me about elderly care in the D. R. (Please, Timex, spare me your standard reply)...I've researched and still don't know.
Specifically, I want to know what level of care is avaliable there. Latin culture is revered for its appreciation of family and friends. But what do Dominicans do when a loved one has a stroke. Or Alzheimers disease. Or worse! And cannot be helped at home.
What quality of outside care is available to a family with a challenged member? What is the cost of care, really. And compassion and respect, is that extra?
I imagine that it depends on how much money is available, but is it like in the US? Where they (the place providing service) deplete all available resources? And then place you in a place that doesn't care? What happens when the money runs out??
Please. Your response is quite valuable.
Your response is greatly valued.
