Retirement home

so interesting.

Carl and Donut find the retirement home people, and they're, like, home health aides.

Yep.

They're not the home health aides.

... somebody immediately shoots him.

Yeah.

Yeah, someone from the retirement home.

Yeah, one of the-

I believe, I understand, we're in New Mexico.

And as some mourners exit a funeral parlour, and get into the Happy Valley Retirement Home minibus, Jess is called over by an attorney called Lockwood, who expresses his condolences for her uncle Cyrus before getting down to some business.

I thought for a very brief moment we were going to get through a funeral scene without any men being inappropriate, but no.

This guy, Bradford Lockwood, what a sleazy name for a sleazy man.

We're never really told what their job roles are.

But she is in charge of this small village's retirement home.

And man, some of the stuff she does and says just like... man it just i don't know it just really made me made me laugh in a in a sad way kind of i guess because a lot of this stuff this movie has yeah again kind of like gaia a pretty uh obvious message messages uh we tend to discard and mistreat our geriatric population which is true which is yeah which is a lot of families and i see this day in and day out in my job And, um, Kim is the, uh, embodiment of the terrible health healthcare provider that, uh, it doesn't, not only does she not help, but she, she hurts the situation.

So anyway, we'll, we'll, we'll get, we'll get there when we get there.

They don't get into it.

But her sister says, I'm sure things have changed since the last things you said to each other.

But so Ella doesn't know that her dad is now in the retirement home and his health is failing.

Right.

I believe, I understand, we're in New Mexico.

Benton Township has found a partner in its effort to develop a new senior housing complex at 650 South Crystal Avenue.

At its regular meeting this week, the Benton Township Board of Trustees voted to sign a letter of intent with St. Stephen's Retirement Center of San Diego, California to construct what it called affordable housing on roughly 10 acres, a township-owned parcel near Fire Station 1.

The company's Gordon McKinney told us they're proposing 65 apartments.

We wanted to make a top-notch facility so that seniors that live here live in a very nice place where their needs will be addressed, uh, their wellness, nutrition, and it just, we'll be doing all we can to make sure that they are taken care of.

They can even help each other.

It's all good.

The board's vote to sign a letter of intent with St. Stephen's Retirement Center was four to two, with trustees Joseph Taylor and Debbie Boothby voting no. Taylor said he'd rather work with competing developer Michigan-based Edwin Allen, noting the Township Planning Commission just this week approved a new 26-unit housing development from that company near Euclid Park.

Following Tuesday's vote, the township and St. Stephen's will begin drafting plans.

For me, it would be care workers.

I mean, the people who work at Rumah Orang Tua and also those from the healthcare sector that come over to people's houses to help get them treated.

I think it's... such a crucial job in Malaysia not only Malaysia but in the world basically and I don't think they're paid enough for me my experience was it was during COVID my grandfather was having like health problems and he had an infection on his foot so some nurses would come over and like treat his wound and after that they would go on to other houses to help treat other patients so I think it's such like a job that requires like a lot of resilience and a lot of scale that people don't really notice.

So I think care workers should be one of the first people to get increases.
