Nowadays older people often live in retirement homes with people of their own age instead of living with their children. Is it a positive or negative development?

It is well-known that individuals of great

age

in the majority of cases stay in

care

establishments with their peers these days rather than living with their offspring.

This

essay firmly states that

this

tendency is for the better. I do believe that aged people are less likely to get stressed when they have opportunities to communicate and spend more

time

with friends of their own

age

. Aged parents tend to be depressed because of a lack of attention when they live with their children. In most cases, adult children are preoccupied with their job and raising up their own families while pensioners require

care

and acknowledgement in order to avoid a feeling of loneliness.

For example

, my grandfather grabbed a lot of my mother’s

time

just because he wanted to chat about anything but my mother had to work at the same

time

and

as a result

,

this

bothering caused many mistakes in her performance.

In other words

, if an aged individual has a chance to spend more

time

with one’s friends, one will be happier. On another side of

this

statement, if a person of retirement

age

experiences some disorders or disabilities that claim some specific

care

with special equipment. People might have serious health issues by the great

age

such

as disability to eat on ones own or difficulty walking without help. At

this

point, they have to be supplied with special appliances and

care

.

For instance

, back to my grandfather, he couldn’t walk without help and special poles and

also

needed a specific medical check every day

furthermore

these needs were met in a

care

house. To conclude, in the majority of cases, people who are retired will feel much better among their friends in a specifically facilitated environment than with their children who have already their own families and have to dedicate more

time

to nurturing their toddlers.
