Many elderly people only know after going to nursing homes: Nursing homes are actually different from what they imagined. What do you think?

Nursing homes are not "welfare" institutions. Many nursing homes are actually profit-making institutions. People have to spend money to buy services. Those with money are naturally given preferential treatment. Those without money can only survive... So those who think they are old People who live in nursing homes really need to go to a nursing home to experience it first. The gap between reality and expectations will be too big before the time comes, and they will not be able to bear it psychologically... Most nursing homes have to make a profit and are not purely public welfare.

Many people think that nursing homes are welfare institutions, and those with slightly better wages can stay there, so that their old age will not be too miserable. But this is not the case in reality. There are generally not many welfare homes and nursing homes affiliated with the civil affairs department. Most of them now use the "government purchase of services" policy, such as the approximate number of elderly care residents. External bidding is provided based on demand, and various nursing homes declare their own bids. , and ultimately decide which service to purchase based on the declared data and needs.

In this process, the government provides funds and assessments, and institutions provide services, which is not entirely public welfare. Many institutions that have not been invited to tender can still meet social needs in the form of private nursing homes. Therefore, for most people, free pension is basically non-existent. The welfare benefits of nursing homes vary from good to bad. Living in a nursing home does not guarantee that you will be able to "enjoy your old age in peace."

Therefore, the welfare benefits of nursing homes vary according to the cost of staying in the nursing home. For example, a welfare home that is close to home may meet your basic survival needs: provide you with three meals a day and basic care. If you need dedicated nursing care, add more money; if you need medical assistance because of difficulty in mobility, add more money; if you need better services and better rooms, add more money...

Of course, there are also good environment and benefits. JiaDe Nursing Home: After you move in, you will be cared for by a dedicated person throughout the entire process. A dedicated nutritionist will provide targeted recipe designs for three meals a day. Professionals will provide regular physical examinations and health care. There are also various recreational facilities for entertainment...

The elderly care of rich people and the elderly care of those without money will still be very extreme... Some nursing homes have abused the elderly and embezzled their property.

Judging from media exposure and my own experience of visiting and studying in nursing homes, there are indeed many nursing homes that abuse the elderly and embezzle their property. First of all, these nursing homes usually lack supervision. After all, many lonely elderly people have no one to care about them even if something happens to them. Secondly, many children of the elderly living in nursing homes do not care about the quality of life of the elderly. They only pay money regularly and do not care whether the nursing home actually uses the money or treats their parents well...

Even some children, many years after the death of the elderly, still send money to the nursing home, until they "accidentally" remembered that when they went to visit their elderly, they discovered that the elderly was long gone... and the elderly's death pension was Being falsely claimed by a nursing home... The advantage of living in a nursing home compared to being an empty nester is that you don't have to worry about "no one knows when you die"...

However, compared to many elderly people who care for themselves at home, there is no need to die of illness alone at home. People know that if you live in a nursing home, at least someone will look after you every day, so that no one will know if you die... Of course, nursing homes are not responsible for funeral matters. Under normal circumstances, the children will be notified to come and deal with it. If there are no children, they may be disposed of according to the prior agreement... Elderly care requires not only material support, but also spiritual satisfaction. It is difficult for nursing homes to provide spiritual satisfaction on behalf of children.

Many elderly people living in nursing homes develop psychological problems and feel isolated and lonely soon after living there. Although they have no worries about food and clothing in the nursing home, they are very empty mentally. Their children are not around, and there is no one who really cares about them. Nursing home employees who only take care of themselves when they are given money, and who will be fired if they don’t have money...

Especially when they are sick and need care, if their children do not come to see them, their desire to survive will be even lower... Therefore, children should still visit the elderly more often and do not "throw" the elderly to nursing homes. ……
