Some people send their parents to nursing homes because they have no
possible way to provide them with proper healthcare. In similar occasions, those eldery
people need special equipment or exercise routines which are better with
professional assistance. They can also have mental problem such as Alzheimer’s
disease or similar, and it is difficult for their children to make a safe area in
their homes. They also cannot leave their jobs in order to take care of
their parents. However, some children are not willing to help their elderly
parents with minor things such as shopping, help them with tidying up, gardening
or escort them to the doctor. They don’t even visit their parents or call
them regulary. Sometimes it is lack of care for parents caused by child abuse or
by bad relationships in the family. Generally, it can be better for parents
themselves to stay at nursing home in case of serious helath problems. Their
children can visit them regulary and give them support. On the
other hand, if somebody does not send their parents to a nursing home, it does not
necessary imply that he or she cares for his/her parents and help them enough.
