For many of the elderly, a ride in the ambulance and a trip to the hospital is an opportunity to socialize and be the center of attention. And they’re not paying for it, we are. My grandmother was like this, and she wasn’t the only one in the complex who did it. No idea why, between kids, grandkids, and great grands, there was no lack for socializing, but I digress.
It’s a tough decision to make, but I can understand it. Do you let ‘the nice young man from the service’ come out for free several times a week? Or do you charge so that he only is called when necessary?
Yeah, but it looks like you have to pay the 40 quid annually to subscribe to the service, then you can call as often as you like. So maybe it’s a good entertainment bargain!
