Most older Indians don't know they can take their own children to a tribunal for neglect.
Most families don't know maintaining their parents is a legal obligation, not a choice.
The Maintenance Act 2007 exists. Very few people know what's in it.

Building a consistent caregiving routine can turn overwhelming days into moments of calm and connection. When care becomes structured and predictable, it helps reduce stress, improve well-being, and create a more peaceful experience for both caregiver and loved one. Small daily habits can make a meaningful difference in the quality of care and emotional balance at home.

CPFF 2026 Review: Thank You for Banking with Us

Year: 2024

Runtime: 92 minutes

Writer/Director: Laila Abbas

Actors: Yasime Al Massri, Clara Khoury, Kamel El Basha, Adam Khattar, Salwa Nakkara

By Guest Reviewer Alexei Holloway

“Thank You For Banking With Us” (2024) is a funny and moving look at sisterhood and challenging the patriarchy. 

Noura (Yasime Al Massri) and Maryam (Clara Khoury) are estranged sisters with less than perfect lives. Noura is a beauty clinician who cares for their ailing father while Maryam is stuck in a loveless marriage with children she no longer feels connected to. When their father dies, the two work together to take their father’s money out of the bank before their absent and judgmental brother who lives in America comes along and takes the money and half the house (per Sharia law).

What follows is a funny pseudo-heist as the sisters bounce off of obstacle after obstacle trying to navigate a deeply patriarchal society and arguing with each other. While looking for help from every man they know, they are constantly shut down, told they are sinners and ungrateful daughters, and have no right to ask for that money. Yet, their brother never bothered to care for their father or check in on his sisters. It was Noura and Maryam who cared for their father, feeding him, cleaning up after him, checking in on him. Why should their brother get both the money and half the house when he did nothing? Why do male relatives, husbands, and lovers have the right to tell these women no when they’ve done nothing to help Noura and Maryam survive? 

            Clara Khoury and Yasmine Al Massri are a powerful and hilarious duo. When they are not cursing and arguing with the unhelpful men in their lives, they are arguing with each other, pulling up old wounds and half-remembered fights from their past like real siblings. Yet, when they see how the other lives and are betrayed by the men they are supposed to be able to rely on, they realize all they have ever had is each other. That will never stop them from fighting, but it helps bring them closer together and, with a little help from Maryam’s youngest son Ali (Adam Khattar) enables them to finally work together to get the money they deserve and to properly lay their father to rest. By the end, one hopes that their newly rekindled friendship can also prevent Maryam’s sons from turning into the very men who did nothing to help the women retrieve their rightful inheritance.

If I could have it my way, #productivity & #efficiency gains from #AI would pay for the #work that falls through the cracks:

* Support for #eldercare, family care.

* Relief of pressure on the #health system through reduced workloads, patient throughput, administrative overhead and wellness support. Enhanced social supports to prevent chronic health issues.

Ohio’s nursing homes are dumping patients at homeless shelters

Long-term care facilities in Ohio are increasingly discharging their residents to homeless shelters, according to interviews and facility inspections.

Last year NYC's Human Resources Administration (specifically, Adult Protective Services) took over receiving Uncle's monthly Social Security checks, paying his rent out of that income, and then sending Uncle the remainder via paper checks (direct deposit not offered as an option *sigh*).
