What do you think a picture of seniors living in a board and care or senior facility looks like when it floods? It looks like the pic that Duchess posted upthread. Is reality too politically correct for you now too?
Why do you think seniors who have dementia, physical disabilities, deafness, blindness, etc........are unwise when the administrators of their facilities follow orders to have their residents stay put rather than evacuate? Do you think Matty and Ethyl should have gotten their rebel on, thrown wet suits over their support hose, and wandered out into a torrential rainstorm - oxygen tanks dragging behind them?
It's required by state law that we train caregivers what to do to assist their senior clients when natural disasters hit. Seniors are among the most vulnerable and at-risk in those type of situations for a variety of obvious reasons. It doesn't make them unreal or unwise.
Do I really need to ask who in their right mind would set still to sit in a pool of murky pissy water and sit and knit waiting for the popcorn to be finished? They may be old but are they really that out of it not to go find a dryer place to sit? Unless they are completely out of it that is you melon head.
