   pedicurn replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   One could argue it does depend on what kind of parent they were As some parents don't care too much about their children when they are growing up ..... those kids might have to be saints to want to...

   Agree In Sydney we see more of certain cultural groups in nursing homes and less of others. We see more Lebanese, Greek, Italian, Croatian caring for their elders at home and way fewer ethnically UK...

    pedicurn replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing
