In today's society, everyone is facing great economic pressure. Middle-aged people must work hard to make their parents and children live a better life. But now most old people don't want to live with their children, and children have no time to take care of them, so they can only be sent to nursing homes.
Some old people are old, have lost their ability to take care of themselves, and even have urinary incontinence. It is actually a good choice for nursing homes to have caregivers to take care of the elderly.
There are also some old people who have lost the company of their wives and can only live alone in their later years. If they are left alone at home, the old people will be very lonely. In view of this situation, it is better to send the elderly to nursing homes, where there are many elderly people of the same age. Maybe parents can find a like-minded partner and play chess and chat with other old people to adjust their boring life.
With the development of society and the improvement of the old-age care institutions, it has become a trend for the elderly to enter the old-age care institutions. Sending the elderly to the old-age care institution is not a manifestation of filial piety, but a filial piety to the elderly. It should not be condemned as unfilial, but should be understood correctly and accepted slowly.
After all, filial piety is to make the elderly happy, comfortable and truly filial. Not in the mouth, nor in the eyes of others, but to respect the wishes of the elderly and choose a lifestyle that is truly suitable for the elderly and that the elderly are willing to live.
