Between the radio ads for AARP and the TV ads for in home care it makes me feel sad that my Mom can't be taken care of that way. Do you notice that there are no ads (at least around here) for nursing homes?
Sure would be nice if it were as easy as they make it appear...
But maybe the reality of care giving would finally get a dialog going in our society about what is happening to our aged, disabled and infirm and how is it we can't help people live with dignity...and help the people who are providing that care get an occasional break or straight answers.
And those ads for an Alzheimer's medicine showing a daughter kissing the forehead of her Dad with a voice over saying something like "he was always there for me, so I will be there for him". Of course Dad appears to be calm and happy. Too bad ads don't show what really can happen.
In my area [Washington DC burbs] we have a ton of print advertisements, mail out postcard advertisements from neighboring States, and local TV ads for retirement villages and memory care facilities.
