RE: REFLECTIONS ON ELDERLY CARE

in Hive Learners7 hours ago

Hey there, Hopey. Our elderly ones, particularly our parents, should be given special treatments when they grow old and are unable to do things properly. Considering how they cared for us when we were younger, they deserve to enjoy undiluted love, care and support. You know, the cycle of life is interesting. When we were babies, our parents take care of us, but the tables change when they grow old. We become their caregivers.

Wow! So much attached to the menopause stage. Thanks to you, I have learnt something new today. As you mentioned, taking care of people can be difficult, particularly older people. Both options are good as long as whatever you choose works for you. However, it would be really great to take care of my old people in the family home.

Thanks for sharing, P.A.

That’s right. As long as our parents took good care of us, taking care of them at their old age will barely be a thing of debate. Even if they didn’t, we still can’t debate about it sometimes.

Personally, I will want to take care of my parents when they grow old because they deserve it but if need be, I will seek for help because like I said, they deserve the best. The truth is, we won’t always be there for them and at one point or another, they will always need assistance.

If you notice, I didn’t even say that part of 24/7 because it’s not even possible. And besides that, some of our parents prefer to stay in their hometown when they are old and we can’t follow them there.

I’m glad you learnt something new. Thanks for sharing your thoughts too, boss. 🥰

You are right.
We cannot always be there for them. Our children and husband will also become our priorities and juggling everything? Very difficult. If nursing homes for elderly is the best, then we should go for it.

No, nursing homes are not even part of my options. 😂

My parents will live in a home where they have everything they need and we can visit them as often as we want. 🤭

Valid. It all narrows down to whatever works for us.

Yes and also what works for our parents too. 😊
