Is it unfilial to send your parents to a nursing home?
Personally, I think it's not unfilial to send my parents to a nursing home.

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.

Matters needing attention in choosing a nursing home:

1, look at health care services

When people get old, they will get sick more or less, or have the possibility of sudden illness, so choosing a nursing home must depend on whether there is an infirmary, a full-time doctor and enough medical equipment and materials. Whether the nursing home has the ability to timely diagnose and treat common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases of the elderly in or near the hospital, and can timely and properly handle emergencies such as various sudden diseases.

2. Nursing services

Whether the staff have good professional ethics and professionalism, check the nursing experience of nursing staff and whether they have the qualifications issued by the higher authorities. It is required to provide daily nursing services such as bathing, haircut, nail cutting, changing sheets and quilt cover, and changing clothes for the elderly at reasonable intervals.

3. Psychological and social communication services

Since it is a retirement place, rich entertainment and social activities are essential. So it depends on whether the nursing home provides such a space and platform for the elderly, such as interest groups and activity groups. These conditions are conducive to the emotional communication of the lonely elderly and bring psychological comfort to the elderly.

4. Catering service

Whether there is a separate canteen for the elderly, scientific and reasonable nutritional recipes can be formulated according to the preferences of the elderly and the needs of medical care. Whether the eating habits of different elderly people are taken into account and whether the eating habits of ethnic minorities are respected. During the specific inspection, you can ask and check the past recipes of the nursing home to see if it meets the requirements of the elderly and whether there is an overall plan.

5. Environmental facilities

Investigate whether the old-age care institutions have places specially for the elderly to carry out leisure, entertainment and fitness activities, and whether they have articles, facilities and equipment for leisure, entertainment and fitness activities that meet the physical and mental characteristics and needs of the elderly, such as gymnasiums, books, computers and chess rooms.
