Can a couple live a long life without children? What problems will we face?

Can a couple live a long life without children? What problems will we face? Childless elderly people living in nursing homes are not! often! miserable! Don't always talk about European and American countries. Each country has its own national conditions. Take a look at our old neighbor Japan. Why is the suicide rate of the elderly in Japan so high?

Of course, I respect and admire those female friends who are independent and independent. My best friend is such a person. I once aspired to be such a person, but until I came to work here, everything about me Our ideas have changed. Let’s not talk about personal will and personal emotions, nor about parents’ problems, but let’s talk about our own practical problems.

Being "old" is already very miserable. No matter how independent you are, you will still need help from others when you reach old age. But have you ever considered the fact that "no one can help you"? Almost all of our generation are only children. Even if the country now fully relaxes the two-child policy, how many people actually have a second child? Even if you have blood brothers and sisters, can you guarantee that you will live in harmony and love each other for the rest of your life? Okay, you can say "It's okay, I can go into a nursing home in the future", OK, fine! Let’s talk about nursing homes now! Do you know how many of the 1,500 people we have since we opened have no children? Only less than 5! Let’s talk about why~

First, it’s about money! Do you know how difficult it is to get into a nursing home? Good public nursing homes are very cheap and the environment is OK, but you can't get in at all. If you want to get in, go and get a place when you are 40 years old. You may still have a chance, but the prerequisite is that no one drags the relationship aside! Non-public ones, such as our company, are purely state-owned enterprises. According to the size of the room, the price of membership fee is around 1 million. The small one is less than 700,000, and the large one is less than 2 million. This is a one-time payment and is bound to life. , and no more than 3 people can be bound, but each person has to pay a service management fee of less than 3,000 per month, which is tens of thousands a year. This does not include food expenses and the like. This service management fee must be paid every year. To increase! Almost half of the elderly people who stay here are paid by their children! Also, let me tell you, among many elderly care institutions, our prices can only be considered mid-range and above, and there are even more expensive ones!

Second, physical problems! Nursing homes need to assess your physical condition before you move in. Of course, cheaper nursing homes do not require this. The assessment includes behavioral abilities, mental status, and most importantly, whether you have infectious diseases! Don’t underestimate this problem. Every year we evaluate several elderly people with severe depression, mania, major yang and minor yang, and even syphilis. These diseases are not uncommon among the elderly, and some of them are not aware of them. When did you get this disease? Therefore, this is linked to the above point again. Do you still dare to live in those cheap elderly care institutions that do not require assessment? Or, if you are unfortunate enough to suffer from these types of diseases, no matter how rich you are, you will not be able to live in those high-end nursing homes!

Third, mental issues! Take our elderly care institutions as an example. People will have some mental illnesses as they get older. Some of them are unreasonable, arrogant, and strong. Otherwise, there is no such thing as "old children", but there is a happy family, a loving mother and a filial son. The elderly are more likely to be accepted by other people and are relatively popular. I think it is because of family relationships that alleviate some of the psychological problems of the elderly, so they are relatively more positive and optimistic. Elderly people who are childless and single are more irritable, paranoid, and even engage in extreme behavior. Therefore, when we evaluate these elderly people in the early stages of their stay, we will be relatively strict. Someone we keep a close eye on.

Fourth, legal issues! Every nursing home, whether cheap or high-end, requires you to sign an agreement when you check in. The agreement must also be signed by one person, who is the legendary "guardian", and some are also called guarantee contacts! What is the role of this person? The old man is sick, look for him! The old man is in hospital, look for him! The old man is in arrears, look for him! The old man passed away, look for him! In short, if the elderly have any problems, they must notify this person as soon as possible, so we generally recommend that an immediate family member be the guardian! So the question is, who should those who have no children and are only children look for? Friends? It is possible, but almost no friends are allowed to vouch for it. The reasons are: 1. Friends have concerns and are afraid of taking responsibility; 2. Friends and family members do not agree; 3. Don’t forget, as you get older, so do your friends!
