The essence of nursing homes is the same as that of kindergartens, which are not responsible for the direct object, but the existence of children is a potential rights protection force and countermeasure force in front of the nursing home, just like nuclear weapons, which can be used, but absolutely cannot be without.
Elderly people who have no children, no daughters and no one to visit may indeed face some special challenges and dilemmas in nursing homes. Without the direct love and support of their loved ones, they may feel lonely, helpless and lost, and may even experience some discrimination and exclusion.
However, we cannot simply equate the essence of nursing homes with kindergartens, nor can we consider the existence of children as a potential rights protection and counterforce in front of nursing homes.
As a kind of social service organization, the main responsibility of the nursing home is to provide professional care and services to the elderly to help them live through their later years. While the presence of children may provide some extra care and support for the elderly, it is not a core part of nursing home services. Nursing homes should provide personalized services and care based on the needs and circumstances of each elderly person, ensuring their quality of life and dignity.
At the same time, we should also see that many elderly people who have no children and no daughters live a happy and fulfilling life in nursing homes. Through interacting with other elderly people, participating in various activities and classes, they have built deep friendships and social networks, and felt the warmth and care of the community. Therefore, we cannot generalize that the childless elderly are at the bottom of the chain of contempt in nursing homes.
For those older people who do need more love and support, we should take more proactive steps to help them. For example, a better social security system could be established to provide them with more financial assistance and social support; Regulation and management of nursing homes can be strengthened to ensure that they provide high-quality services and care; We can also encourage all sectors of society to actively participate in public welfare undertakings and provide more care and help for the elderly.
In short, we should look at the life of the elderly without children in nursing homes with a more inclusive, equal and respectful attitude, and create a warm, comfortable and loving environment for them. At the same time, we should also take proactive measures to help them solve the difficulties and challenges in their lives so that they can enjoy their old age in peace.
