It is not an easy task to provide the needs of your family and at the same time worry about where your elderly parent will be staying. You may need someone else to take care of him or her while you are away working or busy taking care of your little children. Sustaining the needs of your old loved one may not be budget friendly even if you really want to provide for him or her as well.
You can send them to homes for the aged. You can also opt to pay for elder care. There are charitable foundations and organizations both public and private that can provide nursing care for them. It is hard to carry all the responsibilities especially if you have your own family already. You will need the help of organizations and public service or charitable foundations. Even if you want to do it on your own, there are financial constraints that will hinder you from providing them what they truly need.
Some elderly people do not have the adequate benefits and savings during their earlier lives. They cannot support their daily needs like food, clothing, and medicines because they are no longer capable of employment. And they are over the required age to get a new job. So they often end up selling their properties that they have left.
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.
If you also opt to place them in a nursing home, you have to pay for the services. They will also assess if you have the financial capability to leave them there under the assistance of nurses. The nurses will definitely need payment for their services in order for them to continue operating.
The government has care homes but they assess the financial capabilities of the families where the elderly belongs. They do this because they only prioritize the poorest of the poor. The state makes sure that the services are given to those who really deserve it.
You can choose to hire a caregiver and pay for the services yourself. They are properly trained and they can handle old people appropriately. It will be costly though especially if you also have your own family to feed. This can give you headache and frustrations.
Government representatives and public servants must take note of this rising problem. The state is no longer capable of supporting the rising population of aging citizens. There might be a need to adjust and amend the retirement benefits so that these people will not be selling all their properties and be left with nothing.
Families can support each other. There is no questioning how most family members will see to it that these elderly citizens are in safe condition while they are still alive. But the government holds the solution to organize and distribute this growing population.
