Some families think the best way to take care of their ageing parents to care for them at home. Others believe that it is better for their parents to live in a special home for the elderly. Discuss both this view and give your own opinion.

.Caring for ageing

parents

and deciding whether to keep them at

home

or send them to

home

care

have been an issue nowadays. Some families prefer to take

care

of elder

people

themselves at

home

because it will be better and less expensive that

way

. Others send their

parents

to a

home

designed for elder

people

due to a lack of

time

and resources to

care

for them.

Although

I understand the reasons for special homes for the elderly, I would choose to have my own family

care

for my ageing

parents

. Generally, elderly

people

desire to live with their beloved family and get Generally, elderly

people

desire to live with their beloved family and get better when they are at

home

. The

first

way

in which you can take

care

of the older

people

at

home

is to understand their needs and concerns and check up on them regularly.

Secondly

, you can give emotional support to make them feel happier even though they are not in good health.

Also

, looking after the

elders

at

home

can be a lot cheaper than letting them stay at specific homes for them.

On the other hand

, there may be some problems while caring for the

elders

at

home

.

First

of all,

people

don't have enough

time

since they are working all day long.

Moreover

,

people

who are stressed due to work want to rest and spend quality

time

with their children so they don't have the urge to take

care

of sick older

people

. So, the best

way

to deal with

this

issue is to send the

elders

to

care

homes. It would be more suitable for older and sick

people

to get better health

care

with skilful nurses or outpatient

care

.

Although

it can be more expensive, the long-term facilities provided can help the

elders

physically and mentally. In my opinion, the happiness of the

elders

is what matters the most. So I would keep them at

home

and spend more

time

with them,

for example

, going on a walk or watching their favourite show together. One advantage is that I can make sure if they eat meals regularly or take pills on

time

because elder

people

tend to forget easily.

Also

, I can hire help if necessary because they need someone constantly around to look after them if I cannot be always at

home

. To conclude, looking after ageing

parents

is not easy and finding the right

way

to

care

for them is essential. Whether to keep them at

home

or put them in the special

home

depends on the decision of the person and I would choose my own family

care

for ageing

people

over the special

home
