I'm impressed with the way you organize your videos. Essay-style. You give an overview, then the subject matter, then a review. You are one of the more intelligent vloggers I've seen. Maybe not the most entertaining, but you have your own style, and I like it!

I found the content extremely useful. And a bit entertaining! I gotta tell you one of my favorite parts of your videos is the bloopers section at the end. There’s no need to speed that up at all. It’s very entertaining and it gives great insight into you as a person! Which is a good thing. Have a wonderful blessed day in the name of Jesus I hope things go well for you.

For someone who is not giving legal advice on medical laws, and practice,s your attention to detail is truly amazing. Top notch presentation as always. I'm not looking for any medical care but a couple of things you mentioned has me thinking. Thank you and PayPal on the way as a token of my appreciation. 🍻

Wow Dee! Between live-in maids and home health care professionals these videos are a must keep and reference. You really did your homework and your presentation was awesome! I would give you an A+ for keeping us informed and out of jail 😅. Keep it up and again congrats on your ever growing channel 👏 you earned it!

Dee you have done all of us quite a service by synthesizing all this info in such a succinct and top notch executive summary report. I am equally impressed by the Philippines Government Administrative processes,support forms, and sites setup to facilitate this process. It seems quite streamlined for a situation that could easily be so heavily ladened with bureaucracy. <br>~ End of Life Care (ELC) is such a hugely important Budget Line-Item. As you noted, ELC in the PH is One-Tenth the price of the US "For Now"! It's difficult to properly fund for ELC because the Issue is hopefully still decades away But so sensitive to both National Wages and the Currency Exchange Rate. <br>~ Dee this is yet another one of your episodes that is going into my Favorites List... these vids must take you forever to craft start to finish. I am starting to feel 'guilty' for not being a member of some type.<br>Still lovin the Bloopers, you are so hilarious. Peace and Love, B Goat

Thank you Dee! Great info! It's not something we want to think about as we get older, but it's part of life. My mom's full time in home care here in the US with a visiting nurse runs $6k a month vs if she was in a care facility, which is 15k a month... The cost of these services in the PH is really affordable, and takes a lot of pressure and stress off the whole situation... Congrats going over 25k subs! 🙂
