The traditional Chinese family patterns are under dramatic change now. According to the survey as revealed in the table, divorce rate has been on a rise, with 16% of the married getting divorced. Besides, we can find that more than 52 % of the aged parents live alone or in the nursing homes.
Nursing homes aren't always pleasant places to visit. They can conjure up unhappy images of awkward visits to some ailing older person tied in a wheel chair muttering incoherent words, or howling like some rare type of monkey. But, according to surveys from actual nursing home residents, those images exist mostly in our minds as visitors to a nursing home. Many older people actually enjoy their stay in these homes. This may be because of the attention they receive while at the home, or maybe because they find companionship with others their own age and in the same predicament.
More than 40% of people over age 65 will stay in a nursing home at some time in their life. For some it will be an extended stay, and for others it will be just a temporary stay while recuperating from trauma or an operation.
For me, it was very difficult to see mom in a home. And not just because the quality of her life was suffering but, also because I knew from this point on, that I would be taking a more active role in her welfare and her finances. Nursing homes are expensive. When your parent lands in a home, they'll need your help in ways you may not have considered before, as well as your active participation in the choices in their life. This chapter will tell you what you can do to provide that help and make those important choices.
In short, nursing homes can play an important role in the life of families. But children must take responsibility for determining how to use them in an overall context of love and care. Nursing homes should never be dumpsters for people nobody wants to have around. Rather, they should serve to supplement, when needed, a broad relationship of family care, motivated by love and honor.
