Treatment of the Elderly and etc.

They authorities   try to  say they did not  turn her   down but they  did.

I have  been  in that  situation   so many  times  I have lost  count.

I  agree   with the  person who wrote the  comments  below

 "This woman is from the generation of Swedes that contributed in building this once farmland into a first class nation. She worked hard, paid her taxes and today when she request to live her remaining days next to her husband in dignity, it turns out that it is not the government responsibility for her care? You are saying her enslavement to arbitrary social conventions, sacrifices while paying taxes has been in vain??

  She didn't ask for medical care, she asked for assisted living. At 84 years old. Its a reasonable request given the average lifetime contributions of somebody her age. This is why elections are held. So Swedes can decide if their welfare state exists to benefit themselves above others or others above themselves"

An 84-year-old woman in western Sweden committed suicide on Thursday by throwing herself off her own balcony during a meeting with case officers there to determine whether she could live in an elderly home.

The woman who died had asked for help from the municipality, which is near Gothenburg on the west coast of Sweden. She had requested permission to move into a elderly care home with her husband, but to her understanding, was refused.

"She wanted help, she was old, she couldn't manage any longer. She wanted someone to take care of her in her elderly days," one of the deceased woman's grandchildren told Sveriges Television (SVT).
