Caring about others is only human
Up until recently, 88 year old Mrs M was fit and active – socially and physically. But then ill health struck, and her independence and mobility drained away. As much as she wanted to, she simply wasn’t able to look after herself anymore.
Now, she is one of 155 elders benefiting from Tafta's Home Based Care service. It meets a crucial need among the elderly. But those on a small pension or fixed income can’t afford to pay the going rate. We help them regardless. Because, how could we leave an elderly person hungry and helpless in their own home … unable to get in and out of the bath or shower … or stand at the stove to cook a meal?
Some day, God willing, we will all be old. And we may experience first hand the fear and frustration of no longer being able to do things for ourselves ...
