In recent years, "cohabitation pension" has gradually become a popular way to provide for the elderly. This model allows the elderly to come together to live together, take care of each other and keep each other company. However, many people who have participated in this type of pension end up regretting it. This article will reveal five main reasons to help you understand the pros and cons behind cohabitation.
First, the living habits are not adaptable.
Cohabiting means living with strangers, and everyone has their own habits and routines. When older people get together, differences in living habits can lead to maladaptation. Some older people may not be comfortable with the way they live in a group and feel inhibited and unfree. In this case, they may miss the days when they lived independently.
2. Personality incompatibility leads to conflicts.
The elderly have different personalities and temperaments, and it is inevitable that there will be friction and contradictions when they get along for a long time. Some elderly people may have conflicts due to personality incompatibility, which can affect their relationship. Long-term conflicts and conflicts may make the elderly feel tired and uncomfortable, causing them to regret choosing to live together for the elderly.
3. Lack of privacy and independence.
Cohabitation means that the elderly live together in a space, and their privacy and independence may be limited. Some elderly people may be eager to keep their own private space and don't want too much interference in their lives. In this case, they may feel uncomfortable and constrained.
4. Economic disputes.
In cohabitation care, seniors may need to share the cost of living and other expenses. If economic issues are not handled well, it may lead to contradictions and disputes between each other. Economic disputes can disrupt the harmonious relationship between the elderly and make them suspicious of this type of pension.
Fifth, it is difficult to protect health problems.
Older people have different health conditions, and some may need more care and attention. In cohabitation care, it may be difficult to receive timely attention and care if there is a problem with the health of the elderly. Lack of professional healthcare services can pose a risk to the health of the elderly.
Although "cohabitation pension" provides a new way of providing for the elderly, those who have participated in it regret it in the end. The main reasons include unsuitable lifestyles, personality incompatibility leading to conflicts, lack of privacy and independence, financial disputes, and health problems. When choosing a pension method, the elderly should fully consider their own needs and actual situation, weigh the pros and cons, and choose the most suitable way for themselves. At the same time, the society should also strengthen the management and regulation of pension services, improve the quality and safety of services, and provide better pension security for the elderly.
