A couple of months ago, I wrote that a lady wanted to start an old folks' home diagonally opposite my house. Apparently, despite all the written protests, the home received an approval from the authorities. Although there is no signage put up yet, the lady operator has already brought in more inmates.
Well, she has plenty more inmates that she could stuff into this home as her father operates quite a few homes in and around Ipoh. It seems that this is a very profitable "business". I am sorry U have to use "business" here because I cannot why people would want to set up old folks' home and take care of old folks who are of no blood relation, if not for money. Can you?
As I was saying, there are more inmates now, and they are all in various states of health. It is, of course, not a good sign to be placed in old folks' homes. It is as if they are all there "waiting for time".
Anyway, this place is not cheap. A healthy inmate would have to pay RM700 while one who is sickly and need assistance and care on a daily basis would have to pay more. What do you expect when they have air-cond and Astro. Even I don't have air-cond at home!
