Many elderly people are no longer looked after by their families but are put in care homes or nursing homes. what are the advantages and disadvtanges of this trend?

Nowadays many families do not take

care

of their parents in their old

age

, rather put them in nursing

homes

or

care

homes

.

This

circumstance can be beneficial because they are taken

care

of by professional persons and they can find a community with the same

age

and experiences.

On the other hand

, it has drawbacks because they get less

care

for their loved ones and live separated from their own families. On the one hand, when the old man and woman live in the nursing

home

, they are taken

care

of by professional persons who have experience in how to look after the old person. Living in a

care

home

will ensure the fulfilment of their basic daily needs,

whereas

their family cannot provide

such

services because they are busy with their own business.

Furthermore

, it is easy to find a friend who is the same

age

and experience to spend their day having a conversation, playing a game

such

as chess or cards. Where, when they live

together with

family, they will be left at

home

alone because their family members are busy with their own activities. On the other side, living in a nursing

home

has a negative effect on the older

due to

the limitation of the time for them to meet with their family members because they do not live in the same places.

Thus

, they cannot get the love and

care

they need from their family members in their old

age

and feel lonely. To summarise, even living in nursing

homes

will make the elderly's life easier because there is a dedicated person who takes

care

of them every day, but the feeling of loneliness because living in different places with their family is the main drawback for them living in

care

homes

.
