Review for REGIONAL HOSPICE, Danbury, CT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My husband has slow ALS. He cannot walk, talk move for himself. My daughter researched hospice care facilities for us to use. I was not feeling that I wanted to go this route. but I did. I have used Regional Hospice at home for several months. The first time I needed help, I called the number and I was shocked at how quickly I received help. We are at home but I never really feel alone. The help, at any hour, is wonderful. The nurses are kind, understanding and patient. The medicines are carefully explained, no matter how many times I needed to ask. A patient, caring nurse arrives whenever I need help at home. The social worker has been very helpful, kind and patient as well. When ever I make a suggestion or request, it is treated with patience and respect.
This is probably the most difficult experience a caretaker can have. We are sad and angry about this situation, whether it goes on for a long time or it is sudden. Sometimes, nothing anyone does is enough. This did not happen for me with Regional Hospice. I highly recommend Regional Hospice at home.

Review for Commission On Presidential Debates, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

The Presidential Debate we suffered through last night was a disgrace. I know that both teams need to approve the rules and that it might be difficult to get some of these rule through but looking at the debate last night was stressful, inaccurate and resulted in bullying. Somethings I would like to see are
. Turn off the mike of the person who is not supposed to be speaking
. The only person that the camera should focus on should be the proper speaker. The person who is not supposed to be speaking should not be seen on the camera AT ALL!
. If someone interrupts the speaker, the speaker should get extra time to answer the question and the interrupter should lose time. There should be a time keeper as we use in sports.
. The audience should always be seriously limited, perhaps to only family. The person who whistled or cheered inappropriately should be removed.
. There should be a fact finder who can post accurate facts on the bottom of the screen to stop the excessive and deliberate lying.
. Excessive name calling, bullying and related antics should not be seen or heard on camera. This can be done using a time delayed recording.
I have seen High School election debates run more efficiently and more fairly than this. Please make corrections. We were the world's greatest democracy. SHAME ON US
