Subvert the traditional low-cost elderly care strategy to surpass nursing home nannies and reduce the burden on children
With the continuous aging of China's society, the lifestyle of the elderly has also attracted more and more attention. In recent years, in response to this problem, people have suggested going to nursing homes and hiring temporary home caregivers to meet the needs of the elderly. However, there is a growing recognition that it is not feasible to rely solely on children to take responsibility for their own old age.
In fact, older people know and know the huge burden faced by their children in today's society, and they don't think that their children don't honor their parents, but in this case, this old method is obviously not suitable.
Therefore, parents are reluctant to put financial pressure on their children, so they have their own ideas. Nursing homes turn out to be one of the many options with pros and cons. In senior housing, seniors can enjoy 24-hour care and special care, even if they are sick, they can do so immediately**.
In addition, there are many seniors of the same age who can find like-minded companions here to enjoy their old age and enrich their lives. In addition, RCHEs also organise various cultural and recreational activities from time to time so that the elderly can have more time to devote to them, so that they can live a healthier and more fulfilling life in their old age.
One of the problems with nursing homes is that they are expensive and life is subject to many constraints. Under normal circumstances, the monthly cost of a nursing home is around 5,000 yuan, which is quite considerable for the elderly who do not have much savings.
In nursing homes, the elderly will be greatly constrained, they cannot go out at will, and some risky things cannot be involved, which makes many elderly people feel that their lives are greatly constrained. In addition, some elderly people believe that living in a nursing home lacks the warmth of family, and they want children to be with them.
Although some nursing homes look good, the elderly who live in them are not happy. Especially those elderly people who have been lying in hospital beds all year round, they have long lost their patience, and sometimes they will speak ill of them, and some will beat and scold. As a result, nursing homes are not the preferred place for the elderly.
As a result, some older people prefer not to live in nursing homes. However, because the children are very busy, it is impossible to watch their parents 24 hours a day, so they invited a special housekeeping aunt.
Dedicated caregivers who are specially trained can cook nutritionally balanced meals for the elderly, ensure the cleanliness of the house, and if the elderly are sick, they can take some simple care and immediately seek help from the hospital.
If you want to stay overnight, you also need to have a certain amount of financial strength. Many elderly people have a pension, but it is not too high, most of the elderly have a pension of 1,000 to 3,000 yuan, and a full-time nanny is only **1,000 yuan a month, and the pension alone cannot afford to hire a nanny.
For the average family, such a subsidy will put a lot of financial pressure on a family in the long run. So ordinary people can't afford to hire a nanny at all. This poses a dilemma for the average elderly, that is, how to use their financial resources to achieve their old age.
By leaving the elderly in a dedicated caregiver, children can rest assured that they can go out to work. However, finding a qualified nanny is not an easy task. Everyone who is older will have their own preferences and personalities, and many nannies can't stand the old and will take the initiative to leave their jobs.
In addition, some elderly people have strong tastes and feel that if they get a good job, they will put forward more requirements for their work, which causes conflicts between the two families. It is difficult for the children to deal with such problems, so they have to continue to find a new nanny, and in the long run, the children will be exhausted by asking for help for their parents.
Intergenerational co-living"It is a popular pension model overseas, and in recent years, similar new models have emerged in many large cities in China.
At present, "intergenerational cohabitation" is a relatively popular method. Many elderly people live alone, so they will rent out their apartments, and the ** is still very low.
In this way, both the younger party can be cared for, and the elders of the older generation can be accompanied. Since everyone lives under the same roof, it means that both parties can not only help each other, but also share their own expenses, and the relationship will get better and better.
Such a lifestyle can not only relieve the financial pressure of the elderly, but also allow them to earn more money and reduce some of the pressure. Isn't this a great time to save time? Renting to the elderly is not only cheap, but also able to accompany their parents, which is a very happy thing.
Therefore, the practice of "intergenerational cohabitation" is a good thing for both parties. This kind of mutual assistance makes life more exciting, makes up for everyone's shortcomings, and allows the elderly to feel at home, have safety, and have a house.
As we get older, the physical and mental health of the elderly has become a concern for everyone. Getting along in this way, although I am older, older, and have different ideas, it is this kind of difference that makes life colorful.
Young people are energetic, get along with them, and old people can get something fresh and add to their joie de vivre. Older people with a good mentality will have better physique.
And because the elderly have a lot of life experience, the way they see things is different from that of young people, so their wisdom is beneficial to young people. The philosophy of life that young people learn from the elderly is very valuable.
Both young and old, there will be physical needs, and if something goes wrong with the body and it is not effective, it will cause irreversible results. It had previously been reported that someone had died of an illness and that it was days before one of his neighbors found him. The "intergenerational cohabitation" pension method provides a good choice for this.
Young people nowadays often work overtime at night and are likely to get sick, and if something happens, the elderly who live together can immediately call **120. When the elderly are sick, medical assistance can be provided to them in a short period of time, so that the physical condition of the elderly can be cared for in a timely manner.
Although "intergenerational cohabitation" has many advantages, it also has certain problems.
Living with young people and old people creates many problems. Young people's lives tend to be fast-paced and casual; Older people, on the other hand, have a more stable and conservative lifestyle, and the pace is slower. In addition, the way of life, the way of life, the way of life of the two peoples are very different. Therefore, in the days together, husband and wife should tolerate each other and find a balance point to minimize conflicts and misunderstandings.
Young people tend to be under a lot of pressure at work. When they decide to live with the elderly, they inevitably take on the responsibility of caring for them. Whether it is physical health or some small things in life, it is inseparable from the attention and care of young people, which increases the psychological burden of the elderly.
Humans are not worried about aging, but about not being able to take care of themselves. While most people want to take care of themselves, their self-care skills weaken as they get older, and that's when they need someone else to take care of them.
Taking care of the elderly is a difficult problem that every family must face. We should respect the elderly and seek a better way of life for them, so that they can live a dignified and warm old age.
Regardless of the method used, the most appropriate care method should be taken into account the specific condition of the elderly. What do you think of this new retirement model?
