The latest issue of The Summer of the Eaves discusses a good and sensitive issue: where to retire when you are old!
Just think of the Oscar-winning movie "Father Trapped in Time" watched earlier this year, the story told from the perspective of an old father with Alzheimer's disease, all the timelines are confused, in the eyes of the old father, the world is really terrible, everything is different from his cognition, he thinks that his house is not his, he thinks that the stranger is a son-in-law, he can't figure out his daughter and nursing staff, and he stubbornly feels that he doesn't need a nanny, doesn't need anyone's care. This old man really tossed the family can not be peaceful, no nanny is willing to take care of him, the middle-aged daughter because of his reasons, family discord, this is a depressing story! Finally, the daughter went to Paris, the old man went to the nursing home, the daughter regularly returned to London to visit him, the old man's symptoms became more and more serious, but under the professional care of the nursing home, finally everyone found some tranquility, the old man was also sober and confused, and seemed to be used to taking medicine on time every day and following the nursing staff out for a walk!
If I were old, I wouldn't be repelled from going to a nursing home, of course, not the kind that would abuse the elderly, and the existence of that kind of thing is illegal! Since we are about to enter the aging society, these industries should be more and more standardized, right? I think don't think too much of a nursing home is such a terrible thing. For example, people often feel that children are not good to give to the babysitter, afraid of nanny abuse, and in real life, I often see more parents or the elderly around because of lack of energy, emotional control to scold children, there are many people with babies to chat and look at mobile phones, simply can not care about the danger of babies! In fact, there is no need to judge which way of morality, people's energy is always limited, choose a way that suits them.
