Retirement home is not an answer

in Hive Learners8 days ago

Have you ever watched the disturbing and playful habits of grandchildren in the presence of their grandparents, and lf you have, in such times, what exactly comes into your mind, then, if the elderly people were at retirement home, would they have experience that time with their grandchildren.

The deal is, it does not make any sense for any of us to stay far away from the family we belong to, but some times, due to work, maybe, outside from where our family lives and we do not just have a choice, as we still need the job, and the money it brings for our daily upkeep.

Yet, for an elderly person to stay at retirement home, l do not like it as such, although i am not putting an end to whatever is others decision out there, lt just my opinion, because I believe as a family, people that belongs to lt, should be staying in the same place.

Therefore, i feel like, if I comes up with that idea, l will be showing less care for the elderly person, just because he/she is at their old age, but at some point, lt still a great thing for any elderly person to experience, because the retirement home will be made up of many elderly people as well, so lt can still be an avenue of interaction and knowledge gain for the elderly people.

But when I am getting old, I would not want to lived there, but I can be visiting the retire home, spent some times there and later go back to lived with my family.

Although elderly people don't like noise and all others forms of disturbances in their surroundings, but what l do know is that, the feelings each of us has staying not far away from the people we love and care about are big.

So never in anyway should this grateful mindset be traded for anything just because they are old, we as well have to take care of our elders just the same way they have taken care of us when we were young.

The deal is, at our young age, lf not for their care we will have had a lot of stuff we will not be grateful for, so they have done that for us, and l think we should do the same, let not push it all in the name of civil lifestyle, i still understand that retirement home is okay, but can lt replace the love of seeing that father or mother of us beside us.

l have understand that, it is truly the lifestyle of the rich, maybe, l am saying all of this because of how l was brought out and the things l have seen the people around me do.

Yet, i still do not like it, and l do not think i can allow a thing of that nature, unless it is the wish of that elderly person, and l will then honour it, and do as he/she have said.

So touching, I saw the pain in their eyes, especially when their loved ones do not bother to visit them from time to time, those elderly people are always happy when you offer to give them audience about their old days stories. It refreshes them.
My biggest fear in life is old age.
I was once a volunteer worker in one of the elderly homes.

That's why I do not see it as a good thing at all, they will feel that way lf family members do not visit, so it is better they lived with us. Thank you so much for your comment, greetings.
