As the name suggests, a nursing home is a place for the elderly to take care of their elderly, and many people will choose to go to a nursing home to spend their old age when they are old.
When people enter old age, they often stay at home by themselves, and even if their children want to be with them every day, it is a luxury.
After all, children are usually busy with work, and only on weekends or holidays can they find time to go home to accompany the elderly.
Compared with enjoying your old age at home, going to a nursing home has many advantages, such as meeting a lot of elderly people in it.
The elderly in the nursing home are all the same age and have similar interests, and they can do many things by staying together every day, such as playing chess, singing, chatting, etc.
In this way, you can pass the time of boredom, and naturally there will be no loneliness.
More importantly, if you stay in a nursing home, there will be someone to take care of the diet and daily life of the elderly, so that the children will be more at ease, knowing that the elderly are weak and cannot take good care of themselves.
What is worrying is that in recent years, nursing homes have exposed many problems, which have attracted great attention from all walks of life.
It is said that there are "unspoken rules" in nursing homes: eating out of households and turning over beds, revealing the truth about 2 million elderly people!
Everyone must go through the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death, and in old age, people's physical functions decline and can no longer work as before, at this time they have to retire for the elderly.
There are many ways to provide for the elderly, and some people choose to spend the last days of their lives at home and go out to exercise occasionally.
This way of providing for the elderly is the most comfortable, because the elderly can often live with their children, the family is happy, and the old man's old age will be full of joy and happiness.
Another way to care for the elderly is to go to a nursing home, and the hospital will help take care of the elderly, which seems to be a good way to care for the elderly, so what are the advantages of nursing homes?
1. Beautiful environment
One of the major advantages of nursing homes is that they have a beautiful environment, and generally the nursing homes we see are luxuriously decorated, with large yards for the elderly to move.
What's even more intoxicating is that many nursing homes are surrounded by green trees, winding paths, wisps of breeze, and constant birdsong, showing the natural atmosphere and poetic feeling.
Living in such a quiet environment every day, the elderly will feel comfortable physically and mentally, not to mention how happy.
If you are in a good mood, you can keep the elderly healthy for a long time, so that they are not less susceptible to various diseases.
2. Share worries for your children
When people reach their twilight years, their children have already grown up** and have to work to support their families, which leads to children spending less and less time with the elderly at home.
We all know that the elderly need companionship and care, after all, the elderly have difficulty moving on their own and may even lose their ability to take care of themselves.
What's even more dangerous is that if the old man stays at home alone and his children are not around to take care of him, it will be troublesome if the old man accidentally falls.
There is a high probability that fractures will occur, which can endanger the lives of the elderly.
Or the elderly suddenly fall ill and urgently need to be rescued, and there is no one around to help them ask for help, and the consequences are unimaginable.
Nursing homes can help their children take care of the elderly at home, because there are nurses in the home, and they can be with the elderly every day.
If the elderly are unwell, the caregiver can help send them to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. In this way, another advantage of nursing homes is to share the worries of children.
It is with this in mind that many people will send the elderly in their families to nursing homes for the elderly.
3. Alleviate the loneliness of the elderly
The elderly are most afraid of loneliness, and if their children cannot be around often, the loneliness of the elderly will increase day by day.
In the long run, the elderly may experience depression, which can lead to various diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease.
ButGoing to a nursing home can alleviate the loneliness of the elderly to a large extent, because there are many elderly people in the home to care for the elderly together
Everyone is an age group with a common topic, and it is easier to become good friends with similar goals.
Many of my peers are able to get together every day to do various things, so that they can relax and feel happy at the same time, and the loneliness is naturally swept away.
Judging from these advantages, the nursing home seems to be a paradise for the elderly, so is this really the case?
Nothing can be seen only at the surface, and if you dig deeper, you will find that nursing homes only look good on the surface, but in fact there is a dark side.
What's even more terrifying,There are even some "unspoken rules" in nursing homes that can devastate the physical and mental well-being of the elderly.
Don't look at the beautiful environment of the nursing home is a paradise for the elderly, in fact, this is just a propaganda method specially conceived by the nursing home in order to make money.
After all, nursing homes are not charities, but for profit.
They know very well that only by making the nursing home beautiful and dreamy can more people be attracted to send the elderly in the nursing home to care for the elderly, so as to increase their income.
Nursing homes will treat the elderly differently, and for those who are from superior families and whose children often come to visit, the nursing home will take good care of them and take care of all aspects of the elderly wholeheartedly.
In stark contrast, the elderly who have no children have a hard time in nursing homes.
In the eyes of nursing homes, these elderly people are helpless, and even if they are abused, there is nothing to worry about.
Therefore, the nurses in the nursing home usually do not give a good look when taking care of these lonely and widowed elderly people who have no children.
Caregivers often make these elderly people eat some food that is not nutritious, which will lead to malnutrition and poor health of the elderly, which will lead to various diseases.
"Eating out of households" is an unspoken rule in the nursing home, the hospital only thinks about how to squeeze the money of the elderly, and the elderly are lonely and helpless, and they can only swallow their anger in the face of the torture of the nursing home.
The wages of caregivers in nursing homes are generally very low, only about two or three thousand, and these caregivers are even more impatient when taking care of the elderly.
The elderly knew very well that if they dared to express their dissatisfaction, the caregivers would definitely increase their efforts to abuse them, such as frequent beatings and scolding.
It is even possible to stop feeding the elderly, or leave them in their rooms to fend for themselves. The elderly are old, have limited mobility, and are not cared for, and may be in danger at any time.
There is also an unspoken rule in nursing homes called "turnover rate", which is even more appalling.
It is understoodSome private nursing homes take in a lot of elderly people, which will lead to a shortage of beds.
In order to urge the old people who lived in it to vacate the beds for the new ones, the nursing home came up with a poisonous plan to "turn the bed".
Here's how: the nursing home will forcibly restrain some very old people to speed up their deaths, and then they can free up more empty beds for more elderly people to live in.
I have to say that the practices of these nursing homes are really unconscionable, and they treat human life like a mustard, which makes people gnash their teeth and spurn.
There is no doubt that there are many problems in nursing homes that need to be solved urgently, otherwise the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly will not be protected.
Some people may think that since the nursing home is not good, then no one should go to it, this idea is not right, after all, many elderly people have to go to the nursing home for some reasons of their own.
Nursing homes can also alleviate the growing problem of population aging, many lonely elderly people have no one to take care of them, which will increase the social burden, but these elderly people can reduce the social burden after entering nursing homes.
It can be seen that nursing homes also have the necessity and significance of their existence.
The priority is to improve the poor conditions in nursing homes, so what can we do to make them better?
1. Strengthen supervision
The relevant departments should strengthen the supervision of nursing homes in the society, and if necessary, they should also carry out rectification and warnings.
It is important to know that the elderly are also legal citizens, and it is necessary for the state to protect them.
It is obvious that the abuse of the elderly in many nursing homes is unreasonable and illegal, which has infringed on the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly.
However, the elderly are weak and vulnerable, and they cannot fight nursing homes on their own.
ButAs long as the relevant departments help the elderly, the status quo can be changed, and the nursing homes will not dare to continue to act recklessly.
Only in this way can the nursing home allow the elderly to truly enjoy the happiness of retirement.
2. Social joint supervision
In addition to the relevant departments to protect the elderly, it is also necessary for the society to jointly supervise nursing homes.
The reason why nursing homes are very rampant and unwilling to treat the elderly is because the hospital feels that the outside world does not supervise them and is not restrained, even if they are not afraid of misconduct.
But if soAll walks of life often supervise the behavior of nursing homes, and once it is found that there is elder abuse in nursing homes, the relevant **immediately**, all sectors of society severely criticize.
This will put the nursing home side under great pressure from the outside world, and then of course it will be more restrained. Over time, the nursing home will gradually change its ways and treat the elderly well.
3. Self-reflection in nursing homes
Nursing homes can't just blindly pursue profits, and be indifferent to the elderly or even care about the lives of the elderly.
If the nursing home does not fulfill its responsibilities and obligations to take care of the elderly, then it will definitely be criticized, and in the long run, the reputation of the nursing home will be affected, and the business will naturally become bleak.
Obviously, if nursing homes want to develop better and benefit themselves, they must self-reflect and minimize the occurrence of negative news as much as possible, especially the non-abuse of the elderly.
Just imagine that nursing homes treat the elderly well, of course, people will be very willing to send the elderly at home to the nursing home for the elderly, so that the business of the nursing home will become more and more popular?
In many people's minds, a nursing home is a good place to care for the elderly.
Because there are spacious and bright rooms inside, and there are green trees in the huge courtyard, it is enough to see the beautiful environment of the nursing home.
In addition, there are many nursing homes in nursing homes that will give careful care to the elderly, so that the elderly can enjoy their old age in peace.
In fact, many people are blinded by the beautiful appearance of nursing homes, and there are many serious problems in the real nursing homes themselves.
Especially in nursing homes, there is a unique set of "unspoken rules", that is, the rate of eating out of households and turning beds, and many elderly people often stay in nursing homes.
Obviously, the current nursing homes are becoming more and more inhumane, they only think about how to make money, and they don't treat the elderly as human beings at all, which is really chilling.
So what do you think of the "unspoken rules" and dark side of nursing homes? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
