Many elderly people are no longer looked after by their families but are put in care homes or nursing homes. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?
A particular issue about taking
care
of elderly people has been drawing attention both at home
and abroad: whether the elderly should be put in care
homes or nursing homes or not. This
essay will discuss the positive and negative aspects of elderly people's care
taking practice.
The main advantage of putting elderly people in care
homes or nursing homes is that family members can spare their time for pursuing something else instead
of taking care
of the elderly at home
. As a result
, family members can utilize more time for other purposes, such
as relaxing and doing other recreational activities. Moreover
, elderly people can also
obtain better care
through caring experts in those health
care
organizations. For instance
, staff in nursing homes possess
a profession in taking Suggestion
possesses
care
of elderly people, therefore
, they know how to deal with all sorts of care
issues.
On the other hand
, there are many drawbacks associated with elders' care
taking. Firstly
, elderly people may be alienated from their home
members, thus
, they have no opportunities to cultivate relationships between themselves and their families. For example
, those elders that are put in nursing homes, spending all day dealing with strangers, while family members at home
spend time on their own businesses. Therefore
, it leads to a deep gap between both sides. In addition
, elders may encounter risks
of not getting better Suggestion
the risks
health
care
in health
organizations, due to those new staff who are not highly experienced. Thus
, elderly people may suffer from different health
conditions.
In conclusion, although
offering elderly people better health
care
may contain merits on both sides. In my opinion, the disadvantages of putting older people in health
care
organizations outweigh the advantages, ranging from elders being isolated from family members to risks
of not getting better Suggestion
the risks
health
care
