In contemporay society, it is often observed that people are gone to care homes or nursing homes when getting older instead of are looked after by their children. I believe that, this trend faces certain challenges, including making less connection with children and relatives and increasing the expenditure of the family, however, it ultimately offer various significant benefits in terms of helping elderly people’s physical development and spending the time effectively.
To begin with, the major benefit of this trend is creating new community with other elders who have differing backgrounds. Owing to put in care or nursing homes, they may be spend time for doing various of simple activities such as talking each other, listening and reading together. At this point, people does not feel any lonelyness because of the new community which full with the same ages and have a familar situations. The another merit of this development, elderly people are served for various health and mental services to improve their physical condition. Evidence of this can be seen in the number of certain activities which are organised in nursing homes considered the benificial way to prevent from becoming weak-minded.
On the other hand, without staying their own home can be lead to some demerits. First and foremost, if elders cannot meet their children or grandchildren, memories that they created will be blurred little by little. As a result, the vital community of the members is getting worsened, which is the bond of the family. Another negative is considered nursing treatment is going to one of the biggest expenditure of the household consumption, which it is including medicine, recovering and caring facilities.
To conclude, in my perspective, despite worsing family connection and pressuring economic issue, there are some advantages of recovering physical ability and not boring gained by old-aged people are putting in care homes instead of their own house – outweight the disadvantages associated with it. Nursing home is a last riching experience that can significantly bolster their emotions.
