Some parents prefer to stay in care homes after their retirement instead of staying with their children. Why is this happening? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this development?

It is well-known that some elder people make a decision to move to a care establishment once they become a pensioner

instead

of keeping living with their offspring.

This

essay will discuss the reason that causes

this

action among great age people and the pros and cons of

this

case.

First

of all, it deserves to note that there are a lot of pensioners who can not serve themselves on their own because they have serious health problems. At

this

point, when a parent can not eat by himself,

for example

, can bring a lot of issues to one’s children because they would be simply preoccupied with taking care of their parents.

For instance

, my mother

initially

tried to help my grandfather serve his needs because he experienced a brain disease that does not allow him to perform some simple actions

such

as consumption of food, taking a shower, and others. It was a tough time and the decision to move to a care home was taken. In

this

case, there are some evident benefits.

Firstly

, in a specific department, there is a purposely-educated staff who know exactly how to help people in a correct way.

Secondly

, there are some peers in

such

kinds of establishments who help to avoid filling of loneliness.

For example

, my grandfather started to get better in the company of his friends. No doubt that there are some drawbacks as well. A parent might start suffering from a lack of children’s attention especially if they had been living together for a long time in the same area. Another reason that might exist, they can not get a feel for the new environment in the establishment

that is

why it can affect their daily basis with the inconvenience.

For instance

, it took my grandfather a while to get into the company of his peers and start having a friendly relationship.
