We used to take a good friend to her dialysis treatments three times a week. So I have access to a van with a wheel chair lift. I’m looking into starting a business with a couple other guys driving elderly to appointments or other destinations they desire. I’m just not sure exactly where to start? I want to know what type of things I need to line up in order to legally take money for this service. I’ll deal with the marketing and growing a customer base when I figure out if I can afford to get this going. Thanks for your help in advance.

My elderly mother needs some help 2 days a week, mostly for companionship. Are there any agencies that offer volunteers for elderly people a couple of hours a day?

The driver would be using their own car, and will be paid by the elderly person – both an hourly rate for time and money for petrol. In Scotland.
This is regarding a business arrangement, in the same way as home helps receive payment for assisting the elderly…. no more numpty comments please!

My elderly mother is in the hospital but the doctors will not talk to me or my sister about what is going on with our mother. She is unable to walk and has been in the hospital off and on for over a month.

Recently in the Singapore society, there are more and more elderly working in the blue collar industry and they are usually treated unfairly(pay, benefits etc). I would like to gather responds about elderly working at their retirement age.

Where am I suppose to advertise this????

And how much money do I ask them for? Do the elderly people pay it or does social security?

My family and I have adopted this obese, elderly cat that showed up at our house. It is usually a very friendly cat, but today she hasn’t been feeling too well. Her eyes look kind of droopy, and she has stayed by her water bowl the whole day, but she won’t drink any. She also hasn’t eaten very much, which is rare because she is usually always begging for food. What should I do?

Can you recommend a supplier of home oxygen in London, Paris, Berlin, Munich? OK, before ppl get excited, this elderly person gets short of breath and needs oxygen occasionally. And was NOT a smoker. Thanks.

I am an experienced carer for the elderly and am organised and experiened in office procedures. I have been thinking for a number of years of starting my own business and would like to start a business providing caring support to the elderly or anyone needing home care support as I think it is a worthwhile business and from what I have seen a money making business! I would like to hear from anyone who has advice or experiences to share with me.

I am finding it difficult to find information on inequality and discrimination against elderly people.Any help would be appreciated particularly website addresses. Thanks!
