Title: Exploring a new model of old-age care in old age, is it really feasible to provide for the elderly in a group?
Introduction: When we enter old age, the problem of old-age care has become a reality that we have to face. Traditionally, it is a matter of course for children to support the elderly. However, with the development of society, more and more elderly people are beginning to look for new ways to provide for the elderly, and group pension is one of them. So, is it really feasible to support the elderly in a group? Can it become a new choice for the elderly in their later years?
First, the original intention and dilemma of group pension
Group pension, as the name suggests, is a group of like-minded elderly people who leave the traditional family, live together, share the cost of living, and comfort each other with spiritual emptiness. This model seems to provide a new life option for the elderly, but in fact, it also faces many difficulties.
2. The contradiction caused by the equal sharing of living expenses
The core of group pension is to share the cost of living. However, each elderly person's consumption concepts and habits are different, resulting in a seemingly fair and reasonable sharing of living expenses, but in fact there are many contradictions. Some elderly people are used to frugality, while others pursue quality of life, and this difference often leads to contradictions and conflicts.
3. Psychological imbalance caused by differences in economic conditions
The members of the group pension come from different economic backgrounds, which makes some elderly people with better economic conditions have a sense of superiority, while the elderly with poor economic conditions feel inferior. This psychological imbalance can gradually affect the relationship between the elderly and even lead to the breakdown of the group.
Fourth, friendship cannot replace family affection
Although there is a deep friendship between the elderly who live in a group, it cannot replace the family relationship with their children. The elderly need more comfort from family in their later years, and group care cannot meet this need, which is one of the reasons why it cannot be maintained for a long time.
5. The selfishness of the elderly
The original intention of group care is to help each other, however, the elderly also have selfish psychology. They may be more willing to accept help from others than to offer to help others. This kind of psychology will lead to contradictions and conflicts between the elderly, and affect the stability of the pension group.
6. Find a suitable way to provide for the elderly
Group care is not suitable for all seniors. When the elderly choose a pension method, they should decide according to their actual situation and needs. Whether you rely on your children to provide for the elderly, or choose other ways to provide for the elderly, the most important thing is to find a suitable way to provide for yourself and live a happy old age.
