My grandmother who is 99 is cared for at home by my parents. I don't think she would still be alive if she was in a nursing home as it takes a very long time to feed her and she is the middle of all her family. Things are that important for home care and to enable older people to stay at home longer are support for families, respite, carers allowance, aids and appliances, mobile chiropody services and regular public health nurse visits.

Dear Taoiseach, I write to concernong older peoples rights and their dignity. Thus,I earnestly request you to honour your promises in order to allow the elderly citizens within our state to retire with dignity and without fear.

I am a widow and live alone. Like many parents in Ireland I have children living abroad. I want to stay in my family home as long as I can.

The elderly have served our country well in the past - the State should now look after them into the future.Ireland is not in a good place right now but the elderly did not cause this debacle!

Please grant us the dignity to grow old gracefully,peacefully and at home

I want to live at Home please do not take away household benefits

An Taoiseach, Please support older people who wish to live at home, it is clearly the better choice and the most inexpensive also for the government.

Just support us our time is limited. Please don't promise what you won't or can't deliver. God bless the government

Cuts in Home Helps and other community support measures will ultimately cost Exchequer and Health Services more in elder care

Please deliver on your promises in the programme for government and support older people's rights to live well at home

I hope to live an independent life at home. No doubt you wish the same for yourself and your family. Please support us in planning for our later years. Thanks, Celine.

Look after the elderly. You will be old yourself one day.

Leave the elderly alone!! you'll be old yourself oneday, but well off i'd say.

I support this campaign and trust that you Taoiseach will protect these vital supports for older citizens through the forthcoming budget?

Please support older people by giving them support to stay in their homes. This will save a considerable amount of money for the government and provide jobs for care workers which in turn will provide transfer of payments in taxes for the unemployed.
