Caring for an elderly parent or close relative is very difficult. You need to have enough funds to sustain the basic needs including medicines. Some of them do not have the financial means to survive on their own. Getting old can never be avoided and it is where all of us will be heading to.
There are homes for the elderly people and they have the right services that basically give the proper care for your loved ones. However, the population of people growing old is growing so the option will be to pay for elder care. The government may not be able to accommodate all the old citizens in public owned home cares.
They may have benefits and savings but it could not be enough. Hence, they will still need some financial support for their medical needs and daily living. They cannot work anymore so they do not have a daily income source. They are also impulsive and they cannot control their emotions at times making it difficult to find someone who will be patient enough to assist them everyday.
Some pitifully resort to selling most of their sentimental valuables including their houses which they have invested for many years of working. It could break their hearts but often, they are left with no other choices. The most unfortunate individuals are seen on the streets, homeless, starving, and left alone by their children and relatives.
Planning before retirement must be a consideration for all. You are fortunate if your children will still care for you when your eyes can no longer see clearly, when you can no longer walk, or when you can hardly even remember their names. Otherwise, you will not have one single idea where you must go, what you must do with your life, and how to spend the remaining years you have in this world.
You cannot compromise your work by assisting your parents the whole time. You need to work for the future of your own family as well. This is really causing too much headache on many people. But somehow with love, families can get by just fine. There are just some financial drawbacks living with an elderly couple or one at home.
For those who can afford, they can hire a nursing assistant or caregiver to assist the activities of your elderly loved ones. It could cost you, however, because you have to pay them on a daily basis. In addition, you have to make sure that all the other necessities are paid for accordingly.
Politicians must be true to their words. They need to figure out the best solution to this growing social issue. More and more elderly have suffered and they become financially stressed, which could lead to depression and heart disease. They seem to feel that they have been forgotten by the government.
Lucky for those who still have their children by their side, they will still enjoy the remaining years they have. Others are not so lucky as they get sicker each day without anyone to care for them. The government and private institutions need to work harder together selflessly and without any conflicts of interest. These people need special attention.
