People who have come over suggest not to retire in the countryside, 3 practical factors need to be carefully considered
Introduction. In the eyes of many old people, rural life means a Xi, a kind of emotional home. However, after further research, we learned that if we do not have a strong aversion to the city, we should not let the elderly go to the countryside to retire. This is not from the village itself, but from three practical reasons: the shortage of medical resources in the village, the difficulty of life, and the connection with the outside world. In order to ensure the welfare and welfare of the elderly, we should weigh these realities when designing a place for the elderly.
Shortage of health care.
Sanitation in rural areas is poor, and even county-level hospitals are not always able to do this. Young people may not care, they are in good health. However, the dependence of the elderly on health services is also increasing with ageing. They may ask for a routine check-up, for a chronic illness, or to seek first aid. In rural areas, this need often goes unaddressed.
Poor equipment and a lack of medical professionals do not provide rapid access to emergencies such as heart disease and stroke. The medical facilities of rural health centers are struggling to meet the growing health needs of the elderly. Therefore, although there are many Xi and emotional destinations of the elderly living in the countryside, it is not the best choice in terms of health care.
Survival is hard. Life in the countryside may seem simple, but it's actually very inconvenient. First of all, the elderly have encountered difficulties in purchasing daily necessities. In the city, there are a variety of supermarkets and convenience stores that provide daily necessities. But in the countryside, shopping is often a long way off. This will definitely cause more trouble for those elderly people who can afford it. Second, when people get older, it becomes difficult for them to support themselves. In the countryside, people have to put a lot of effort into clearing wasteland and growing crops. When the old people get older, they can't do this kind of heavy work anymore.
However, without the development of the land, there is no access to food. In addition, older people need the care of young people more from the very beginning. However, in the rural areas now, young and middle-aged people have gone out to work, and only the elderly and children, as well as the old, weak, sick and disabled, are left behind. This creates problems with care, and the elderly often do not receive adequate care and attention. Therefore, although the living conditions in the countryside are more suitable for many elderly people, from a practical point of view, the countryside is not the best way to care for the elderly.
Lack of communication and exchange.
As young people leave their hometowns, older people living in rural areas face increasingly poor social conditions. Although the community members are closely connected, the social lifestyle in the community is relatively simple, which cannot meet the social needs of the elderly. Such social isolation has a significant negative impact on the mental health of the elderly. In rural areas, due to the lack of social interaction and interaction, the elderly often feel lonely and helpless.
Moreover, most of the old people left behind in the countryside are about the same age or older than themselves, and when they leave, the hearts of the old people will become more and more panicked and anxious. Their social circle has narrowed, new faces are missing, and there are no opportunities for communication. Such loneliness and powerlessness will make anyone feel depressed and powerless, let alone an elderly person. Therefore, when choosing a place to live for the elderly, one of the problems that must be paid attention to is the lack of communication and exchange.
The conclusion is that although there are many Xi and emotional destinations of the elderly in rural life, they face three practical problems when choosing a place for the elderly: shortage of medical resources, difficulties in life, and insufficient communication and communication. In order to ensure the welfare and happiness of the elderly, they should try to avoid placing them in the countryside, unless they have a special aversion to the towns. We need to improve the health of the elderly and improve their sense of well-being by improving their hygiene, living conditions and social environment.
