8 Reasons Why Senior Citizens Need To Live Apart From Their Families

People run away from responsibilities. Be it in their adulthood as parents or as caregivers of their parents. It results in total neglect of care needed by the elderly. Here are eight reasons why senior citizens should live apart from the family: Constant monitoring is not possible by the family members. Burdening of responsibilities results in constant bickering and a pessimistic environment. Emotional support cannot be given to the elderly by family members always. Decision-making goes to the head of the family, and some decisions are not always in favor of the elderly. Medical emergencies cannot be met by the family members unless there is a doctor in the family. But that too, if the doctor is working from home. Loneliness hits the elderly as soon as retirement comes into their lives. Family cannot be there for senior citizens all the time. For some senior citizens, living at the cost of their children seems next to impossible. Lack of security in the house when the family is not home makes the senior citizens vulnerable to robberies and other threats. The senior citizens would love to stay at a place where there is a care of doctors, love of friends, and comfort of soulmates. All these three traits come in a retirement home.  Instances like robbery and murder of the senior citizens who live with their families or alone are on the rise. A retirement home will make them feel secure and allow them to enjoy their second childhood to the fullest. It can help you to save senior citizens from such instances. The second childhood of the senior citizens demands a time where they can be with the same age group and feel at absolute ease and comfort.

5 Daily Struggles Of Elderly

As you grow up, the bones become weaker, the brain becomes smaller, and the muscles become thinner. Everything in the body of the elderly comes to a halt. A halt that they did not expect. Neither did they want it or wish for it. This pause is there in their everyday lives to remind them that death is not too far and that it can take them away at any moment of their lives. Here are five such daily struggles of the elderly: Medication  Old-age brings with it several diseases. Several diseases require the consumption of several medications. To cure their current health condition and to maintain the status of their heart, mind, and body, they need to depend on medicines.  Financial discomfort All their adulthood, the elderly lived in the moment and could not save or even think about their retirement. Post-retirement, the elderly suffer daily for daily bread. Savings is a concept not taught to many. In adulthood, if the elderly had saved for retirement, the elderly would not have to suffer daily post-retirement.  Mobility and movement Bones become so weak, and the muscles become so inactive in old age that mobility and movement seem like a task for the elderly. Every single day of their lives, they have to struggle with mobility to keep their bones and muscles healthy.  Abuse from the children It does not apply to all families. But for some families, the elderly have to bear abuse daily from their children. They did the job of raising their children well, but the children forget the very fact that they are too going to get old and going to need care from caregivers.  Inability to complete errands Memory loss is one of the common symptoms of the elderly. Completing errands every day like grocery shopping and attending appointments become strenuous for the elderly.

4 Daily Good Habits For The Elderly People

They say it takes only three weeks to make a good habit. When it comes to the elderly, healthy habit is a must. If you are younger, and you adopt a few healthy rituals, then becoming healthy seniors is a piece of cake for you. But now that you are in the elderly group, you should try and adopt these four daily good habits to become healthy seniors: Keep moving, keep walking Post-retirement, one thing that stops from happening in life is movement. The elderly forget to stay active and keep moving. Having an exercise like walking, jogging, or brisk walking will take you out of post-retirement depression blues. Also, improve your mood, energy levels, and memory.  Give aging myths a rest. Everyone ages differently. What your friend is suffering from today at the age of 55 will not come rushing to you because of the same age-group. Not every elderly gets afflicted by heart disease or diabetes. Yes, there will be physical limitations, but nothing is impossible for you. Forget all the elderly myths and concentrate on enjoying your second childhood.  Drink in moderation Post-retirement, most men fall prey to the tight clutches of alcohol, and the grip is so hard that it becomes difficult to give it up. If you consume wine, brandy, or whiskey, thinking it is the retired’s best friend, then you must take them in moderation.  Sleep is a must Without an adequate amount of sleeping hours, your already-tired body will not be able to function the whole day. You will not be able to socialize, exercise, or even watch a movie in peace. Be it any time of the day, get some sleep. In the night, frequent urination may trouble you, and there could be insomnia or lack of sleep too. Then, get some sleep in the afternoon or evening when the lights are out, and there is no noise to trouble you.

5 Reasons Why Your Elderly Parents Need Long-Term Care

Growth is inevitable when it comes to humans. You will grow old someday to see your teeth break, skin wrinkle, and memory hamper.  But for your elderly parents, there are a few unparalleled signs that you need to take notice of before it gets too late for them to seek long-term care: Disorderliness: Losing their keys, forgetting to flush the toilet, switching on the gas without using the lighter, forgetting where they kept their phones last, leaving the lights on, and many more such instances. They all point toward disorganization in the lives of your elderly parents. With growing age, the size of the brain reduces, and disorganization sets in the lives of the elderly.  Poor hygienic conditions: Apart from disorganization, laziness also sets in. Unbrushed teeth, uncombed hair, unbathed body, and stinking clothes in the dryer are all the signs of your elderly parents. Lack of awareness of personal hygiene is a symptom of dementia (memory loss).  Aggressive behavior: Your family members end up worrying about your elderly parents bursting out every chance they get. The aggression of any kind, be it verbal, physical, or sexual, sets in as a result of dementia, forgetfulness, and helplessness in the elderly.  Age-related diseases: It’s not easy to live up to the age of 50 and have no disease whatsoever. In women, after menopause sets in, you get exposure to heart as well as bone diseases. In men, hypertension, and diabetes take over due to work pressure. These disorders are not gender-specific, but they are age-specific. Diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke, and paralysis of the elderly need medical support as well as constant monitoring.  Driving disturbances: The easiest way to check an elderly is through his/her driving style. Confusion while driving can not only cause havoc in your elderly parent’s mind but also in your life. Long-term care ensures the assessment of mobility, gait, balance, coordination, and muscular strength of your elderly parents.

4 Ways You Hurt Your Growing Old Parents

4 Ways You Hurt Your Growing Old Parents

Your old parents have a heart of their own.  In your adulthood, you concentrate on who-hurt-me more than who-did-I-hurt. It’s the same with your elderly parents. For your parents, you will never grow up. But for you, this fact is obnoxious, and you revolt in reciprocation. It is a revolt that results in taunts, bickering, and disrespect towards your growing old parents.  Here are four such ways in which you hurt your dear parents: You forget they are growing old. One of the surest ways of hurting your parents is neglecting the fact that they are growing old too. You have your mid-20s or mid-life crisis to deal with, but you forget that your parents are growing old.  You don’t offer them your help. Every single day of your elderly parents’ lives is a struggle to survive. In this struggle, they want your support, love, and care to thrive in the world. If you don’t offer them your help, then where will your old parents go for help? You disregard their feelings. Your old parents are as sensitive as you are.  They have a heart that gets hurt too. If you say no to meeting with, seeing, or calling, then your parents are bound to get hurt as you are disregarding their precious feelings. You forget the fact that you were born into this world because of them.  You mess up your life. You took a few decisions in your life without keeping your elderly parents informed. These decisions have brought you to a halt where everything seems horrible. Somehow you have messed up your life. Nobody on this planet earth is hurt to see you like this more than your elderly parents.  Your parents are not going to be a part of your forever; you need to respect, love, and care for your growing old parents.

3 Hobbies That Can Help Your Elderly Parents

When retirement sets in, and there are no ways to go, the elderly often do contemplate over his/her life decisions. At times, regretting a few, and at times, overthinking a few. In such instances, only one thing can save them from the depressing clutches of retirement blues, and that is adopting a hobby.  Here are three such hobbies that can make your elderly parents shine bright even after their retirement: Traveling  There is a globe trotter in every soul. Be it a baby soul or an elder soul. You give a man shoes, and he/she will walk around the world. You can gift a retiring man a hobby of traveling, and he will see more places than you can ever imagine. The pandemic has kept us on toes. But once in a blue moon, you do need the pure oxygen of the green forests. Make your parents fall for circling the globe.  Join a writer’s group It could also be a reading group. Tedious deadlines and busy office hours could never let your parents read their favorite novel or write on their favorite topic. Post-retirement, make your elderly parents join a writer’s group or a library nearby so they can make new friends there. It will make it easy for them to make new friendships and avoid missing their office friends. Help them start their new chapter of life with a new chapter of a novel.  Take up sports Along with retirement, you get laziness. Laziness to move, work, play, laugh, and talk. To not let these emotions get hampered, you should introduce your elderly parents to sports. It will keep their skeletal muscles as well as their brain healthy. It could be any sports activity, like badminton, tennis, table tennis, or any sport they never could give enough time to in their lives.
