Some families think the best way to take care of their aging parents is 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 these views and give your opinion.
As the number of elderly increased tremendously in the past, it has become controversial how they need to be taken
care
of. Some people
believe it is their responsibility to take care
of their elderly at home
; whereas, others claim they should be living in a special home
. This
essay will discuss both opinions as well as my own.
From many perspectives, having their ageing parents
living in a special home
seems to be the best solution. While people
are out working and juggling their personal lives, they might neglect their elderly as they do not have time. Having the elderly in

care
would allow them to focus on their lives. For instance
, many people
have sent their parents
to private nursing homes in which they know their parents
will be in good hands. Facilities and services provided at the nursing home
can also
make their parents
feel less lonely. Thus
, people
can have a bit of room to breathe.
On the other hand
, others believe their ageing parents
should be taken care
of at home
which I strongly agree with this
. The bonds between parents
and children are indestructible which means they cannot be at ease knowing that their parents
are not with them. For example
, people
might not be able to give the best care
to their elderly at all times but being able to see their parents
every day can motivate them to do better. In addition
, personally, I do take care
of my grandmother at home
. Being able to see her every day inspires me to work hard and I can take better care
of her in the future.
In conclusion, families may have different solutions on how to take responsibility for their elderly. Some may want to take care
of them by themselves, others may want to use services that are available. In my opinion, I believe we should be responsible for them.Submitted by nuthchada on
