It happens most of the time when our parents need help at every step. They may need assistance in bathing and toileting etc. Many adult children who don’t care about their parents, they neglect them to avoid caring of them. But this is not fair. While talking about an old widow aunt in my neighbor, it feel very sorrowful to see the condition of grand parents in their home where their children don’t care about them. Nature don’t not remain same all the time, as time passes away change is inevitable. This is same in case of our parents, As parents reach at the end of their life, their tastes and tends, behavior, living style also changes. As I was discussing about old aunt, she was suffering from dementia, a condition of short term memory loss. She forgot about things she had placed. She often talked about things that are neither happened nor are true. This is the time when adult children should understand her condition, she is passing through. Instead of taking care about her, her daughter in law becomes rude to her and often speak wrong to her. An old aunt was very helpless. One day she crossed all the limit and tried to get rid her mother in law of the the home. My family and me also suggested about memory care center where she can get proper care but she was not ready listen anything regarding her. But by all means, my family agreed her daughter in law to keep her at own home. This is not right to neglect the old parents. If we have not so much time to take care of them and may some other reasons, there are are lot of senior affordable housings where elders can get best facilitated. These communities provide home like environment to its residents. There are multiple amenities like weekly housekeeping and laundry services, assistance with self-administration of medications and moreover provide assistance with hygiene, grooming, bathing and toileting etc. There your parents don’t feel alone that causes depression.
