In
this
present-day
world,it has to be said that there is a trend of care
homes
for the elderly as their families put them in care
homes
;in this
fast-paced world people
have hardships in the workplace as well as in-home; due to this
younger adults can not get much time to look after their aged members in their family.Apart from that majority of younger people
are struggling to get a day
square meal.There are some merits being in a care
home such
as great medical care
and attention,although
,dotage may feel isolated and bored as well as it can be a reason for depression.This
essay will enunciate the merits and demerits of this
trend in detail with appropriate examples.
To commence with , it is indeed an irrefutable fact that aged people
need cautious care
as they are incapable of doing their day
to day
activities.They need help in cooking food and walking;maybe even for a glass of water.For instance
, a study was conducted by scholars of geriatric care
at Harvard University about the importance of old-age care
and how much we have to care
about it.The result shows about 88% of the aged category are facing problems in day
to day
activities as their aged related diseases and low strength.In the light of this
study geriatric doctors have been started to counsel family members about the importance of elderly care
.
To continue, it is paramount to consider family members' situation also
; the majority of them have problems with work-personal life issues;in between this
elderly care
may be difficult for them and they put dotage in care
homes
for conservative care
.A seminal survey was conducted by Toronto university about the way of care
in nursing homes
in Canada.The result shows about 88% of the aged are getting the best care
.
However
, there are some disadvantages also
for care
in nursing homes
; isolation and boring may lead to depression in the aged people
.The majority of the old people
always want their family with them for avoiding their isolation and lonely feel;they like to play with their grandchildren.For instance
,a survey was conducted in a care
home in Norway about their feelings there.The result shows about 90% of the dotage have isolated and missing from their family.
In conclusion , the care
home trend has positive aspects and negatives,however
,merits outweigh the demerits in this
epoch due to the hardships of their family.Submitted by mariyatresavarghese on
