Caring for an elderly parent or close relative is very difficult. You need to have enough funds to sustain the basic needs including medicines. Some of them do not have the financial means to survive on their own. Getting old can never be avoided and it is where all of us will be heading to.
Some of the elderly are not given the proper benefits that they deserve. Most of them are not getting enough at all. Hence, the loved ones that are left to take care of them also suffer financially as they also have to find ways to fund the needs of their beloved elderly family member. Pay for elder care is very complicated and support from the state is becoming scarce due to increasing number of the aging population.
They may have benefits and savings but it could not be enough. Hence, they will still need some financial support for their medical needs and daily living. They cannot work anymore so they do not have a daily income source. They are also impulsive and they cannot control their emotions at times making it difficult to find someone who will be patient enough to assist them everyday.
Others are left starving and homeless on the streets. These are the unfortunate ones whose family members do not care about what will happen to them. This is really sad because they are supposed to be the persons who will stay by their side until the very end.
If you also opt to place them in a nursing home, you have to pay for the services. They will also assess if you have the financial capability to leave them there under the assistance of nurses. The nurses will definitely need payment for their services in order for them to continue operating.
There are public care homes but the legislation only selects the poorest ones. Those whose families do not have the financial abilities to pay for caregivers are prioritized. If you do not fall on that category, your loved one will not be accepted into the home.
For those who can afford, they can hire a nursing assistant or caregiver to assist the activities of your elderly loved ones. It could cost you, however, because you have to pay them on a daily basis. In addition, you have to make sure that all the other necessities are paid for accordingly.
Some are sickly and they need special nursing assistance. If you do not have a background in caregiving, you will certainly have a hard time providing them with their care needs. Professional hands are needed in this dilemma. Hence, you also need to pay for home service nurses.
Lucky for those who still have their children by their side, they will still enjoy the remaining years they have. Others are not so lucky as they get sicker each day without anyone to care for them. The government and private institutions need to work harder together selflessly and without any conflicts of interest. These people need special attention.
