As of now, their are some grandparents who are living with their grandsons/daughter..They need comfort from their young member of the family..But as they grow older, too older they are more sickly and need much meditation from us! they are our first priority!! But why some send their olds to home for the aged? are they not want to take care their olds?...Anybody wants to clarify it?..We should consider them that they are also taking care us when we are a child.....and we should care them also as one of our way to repay them also!

A lot of families don't know how to take care of their elders anymore. With people living longer than they used, the body deteriorates and the medical profession claims to be the best way to keep our elders comfortable. I do agree that we should take more active interest in their care, especially since often they cared for us as children. Why not retrun the favor?"

yeah! the medical profesion nowadays are very useful...but still our elders depends on us....they cannot say "no" if we send them into homes for the aged, but we know that they dislike it..anyway they can't say longer!! But why we depend others? Although it spends as money for taking care of them..We still young and brave for caring our olds like our grandpa/grandma..Lets as care them coz we can't know the minds of those who treating them like those nurses if they hurt our olds..what if they will maltreating them? or they scold and shouting them so offen? we dont know!!

There should be someone to look after the aged parents or grand parents, otherwise these days leaving them alone in the house is dangerous. Secondly it also depends on the size of the family. If husband and wife go to job, school kids are left at creche, then it is difficult to take care of elderly persons. You cannot leave the house to servant woman who are not reliable.
