It’s the nightmare of old age: being alone and having no one to look after you.
Good for those who have taken out supplementary nursing care insurance. This means that when you get older, you don’t have to waste all of your own assets on care.
Finally, we wanted to know how long you had to wait for your last citizen’s office appointment. 2772 BZ readers voted. 17 percent (462) had to wait less than two weeks, 52 percent (1,453) longer. 31 percent (857) are still waiting.
