(5)Many people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, the families place them in nursing homes They are left there in the hands of strangers for the rest of their lives Their grown children visit them only occasionally The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate myth – a fictitious story In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of care that elderly people need
Because Americans are living longer than ever, more psychologists and social workers have begun to study care giving to improve care of the elderly They have found that all caregivers share a common characteristic: All caregivers believe they are the best person for the job One caregiver said that she had always been closed to her mother Another was the oldest child Another was the youngest child Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibilities of caring for an elderly, dependent relative They discovered three basic reasons Many caregivers believed that they had an obligation to help their relative Some stated that helping others made them more useful Others hoped that by helping someone now, they would deserve care when they became old and dependent
When people care for an elderly relative, they often not use available community services, such as adult daycare centers If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities In contrast, a spouse, usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home Social workers discovered that the reason for this difference was fear of poverty All ill, elderly people may live years, and medical care and nursing homes are very expensive An elderly couple’s saving can disappear very quickly The surviving spouse, usually the wife, can be left poverty As a result, she often tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can
Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received They were affectionate and cooperative However, even when care giving is satisfying, it is hard work Social workers and experts on aging offer caregivers and potential caregivers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing homes and can select one in advance On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children Caregivers must also learn to be assertive and ask for help from others, especially siblings Brothers and sisters are willing to help, but they not know what to We can expect to live longer lives than ever before Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutual satisfying experience for everyone involved
