Many elderly people are no longer looked after by their families but are put in care homes. what are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?

In most recent years, a trend has been noticed that more and more elderly people are no longer looked after by their families but are put in

care

homes. I believe there are both advantages and disadvantages of

this

trend, and I will discuss both sides in the following paragraphs and describe my opinions in the end. The advantages of sending elderly people in

care

homes are quite obvious.

First

of all, most people in today's worlds are getting busier and busier with their own lives,

such

as attending schools, going to work, looking after their children, or learning new life skills. There is limited time and

of their parents or grandparents.

In addition

, most people nowadays choose to live separately from their parents. Looking after the parents usually means travelling back and forth, and it will become even more time consuming and inconvenient if people are living in a city or a country

that is

far away from their parents' home.

Besides

However

bring a lot of disadvantages, especially to the elderly people themselves.

Firstly

, not all

care

from their families and friends. Many elderly people are suffering from loneliness and frustration in

care

homes because not many families and friends come to visit them in the

last

years of their lives.

Besides

the disadvantages to the elderly people, the cost of

homes is probably a better choice or the only choice for some people who have little time or skills to take

of their parents. But it will

also

cause trouble for the elder people and their families. As far as I am concerned, people should not assume it will solve all the problems by letting the

care

home look after their parents.

Instead

, people should still visit frequently and offer help and

care

to their parents even though they are in

homes. The
