Elderly Care

John B. Marine | October 21, 2020 | | | Be the first to comment!
Respect your elders. There will come a time where we will need to take special care of the elderly. Elderly folk may not know how much longer they will live. Therefore, we need to take special care of the elderly to ensure they live as long as they can. This blog post on "John's Life Space" is not a comprehensive post regarding elderly care, but it is my own assembly of thoughts in regards to elderly care. So welcome to my blog and another blog post on it!






Elderly Care


I will set the mood of this post with a picture. I may change it if I am unable to use it for my post, but here goes...

elderly care
^ from: (US News Money) - Looking after the elderly is a great responsibility, as we are unsure as to how much longer some of our elders have to live..

Just about all of us have someone of an advanced age who will need some sort of care to ensure they will live as long as possible. While we don't know how much longer our elders will live, it is best to care for them and address their needs for while they are still with us. Elderly care can range from simply looking after our elders properly to even having retirement homes and hospitals to help assist in taking care of the elderly.

My own story involves taking care of my grandmother. There would be times in which my mother and I had to do grocery shopping once each month to help my grandmother. There were times where my grandmother would go along to the store along with myself and my mother. My grandmother had to be looked after a bit more once she took a fall in her house. Sadly in 2017, my grandmother passed away at the great age of 93. All the while I knew I was doing a lot to try to help my grandmother any way I could. While my grandmother no longer has to suffer, she still helped mold myself and members of my family. If I had my own story in regards to taking care of the elderly, I am sure anyone else in the same situation will have to deal with taking care of the elderly any way one can. Of course- "John's Life Space" is dedicated in loving memory of my grandmother.

Elderly care during the COVID-19/Coronavirus pandemic is especially crucial. Not many of us have been able to see our elders in care centers and retirement homes because of the pandemic. This can provide emotional stress as we may not be able to connect with our elders in person. This can also provide mental stress in trying to make sure the elderly ones we love are doing well and are taken care of.


So now that we've discussed elderly care, how exactly do you do so? I invite you to the next section with a number of talking points.




Elderly Care: How to Do So?


If you have an opportunity to care for the elderly, be sure to do so to help preserve the lives of those you love most.

Basic Elderly Care.

Basic elderly care can simply involve taking care of basic needs from the elderly. This can mean buying groceries for them, entertaining them somehow, exercising with them, making sure elderly types have taken their medicine, and the like. Anything to keep the elderly healthy and entertained is great enough to help elderly types feel loved.

Retirement Homes and Medical Care.

When the care of elderly types lie in the hands of people outside of your family, you have to put your trust in healthcare professionals to help care for the elderly. Instead of at-home care, some elderly types reside in retirement homes and various healthcare facilities for elderly care. The most important aspect to all of this is in these healthcare facilities and their staff help keep the elderly healthy. You don't want things like malpractice or bedbugs to compromise elderly lives. If you are able to go visit elders in these facilities, do so regularly just to show your love and to keep them in your hearts. Make sure these facilities are doing their best to take care of such elders. Otherwise, you may have to vent your frustration to hope the facility and its staff improve their performance. The best possible care needs to be established to help assist the elderly.


I will now offer some final thoughts to close out this topic. Next section...




Elderly Care: Final Thoughts


Even if we don't know how much longer our elders will live, we need to do all we can to help preserve their lives for as long as possible. Proper care for the elderly, then, is of great importance, because not many elderly types can take care of themselves. Healthcare professionals will need to do all they can to help elderly types live out as long as they can. If you choose to take care of elders by yourself, do what you can to keep elders healthy as well as keep them entertained and happy. Let's make the most of what life most elders have left for their sake and for ours!
