After the Spring Festival in 2024, the number of elderly people will increase, do you have a "positive" or "negative" attitude towards this?
Senior homes are not a good option.
The elderly have various thoughts and concerns about elderly care facilities. They are afraid that if they are admitted to a nursing home, they will lose their freedom and dignity. To make matters worse, when confronted with a grumpy caregiver, older people can feel helpless and feel left out. As a result, more elderly people are determined not to live in residential homes, preferring to find another way out.
The main factor that causes the elderly to be reluctant to move in is the management and service quality of the home. Many elderly people feel that in nursing homes, the nursing team and equipment are not professional and complete. They fear that they will not receive proper care in a care home, or that they will be treated, neglected, or lazy. Therefore, in order to maintain the quality and dignity of life, the elderly often look for a more suitable method.
Overnight babysitters are not suitable.
Although some older people receive some daily care due to their age, this does not mean that they have to hire a home caregiver. Hiring a babysitter at home can cause a lot of problems and conflicts. First of all, having a stranger in the home can make the life of the elderly very uncomfortable, which can make their daily life worse, which can cause psychological exhaustion, which can lead to physical illness. In addition, it is difficult to adjust to the differences in culture and customs when dealing with family caregivers. Therefore, the elderly feel that staying overnight is similar to living in a nursing home, and they cannot really enjoy a comfortable and comfortable life.
So, seniors can choose to hire temporary staff to help them out when they need it. For example, moving furniture and decorating the house, these temporary employees can choose freely and do not have to worry about staying together for a long time.
Rationally look at physiological and hygienic issues.
If there is anything uncomfortable, be sure to go to the hospital as soon as possible and don't let some small problems become big problems. If the elderly only have mild cold, leg pain and other symptoms, they need to seek medical attention in time and take appropriate medications under the guidance of a doctor**. It can prevent some minor ailments and also make your body healthier.
However, when faced with a major illness or later stage, the elderly often choose not to do it, which is a very smart approach. Such a decision should take care of both the physical and mental well-being of the elderly, so that they can enjoy their old age at home with peace of mind. Here's a real-life example of an elderly man who was diagnosed with serious cancer and chose not to go to the hospital in order to avoid the lengthy medical expenses and procedures. For the elderly, a happy old age is far better than a long life.
Conclusion: The elderly have their own views and choices on nursing homes, nannies, medical treatment and other issues.
They attach great importance to the quality of life and personality, and look forward to enjoying their old age at home. Although this is not the case for every elderly person, their views and tendencies should still arouse our thinking and attention. We, the new generation, need to live in harmony with the elderly, understand their choices, and value their well-being and dignity.
