Nursing homes These days in some countries relatives use a home for the elderly to their retiree instead of looking after them. I strongly believe that it has a somewhat positive development, because the nursing homes have good medical services, leave your family can help to looking for the same retiree, however home for the elderly is never replace a supportive relatives. The main reason why I believe that nursing homes for retiree will be more convenient than being taken care of by their family comprises timely medical services. Elderly are needed in medical care to be well, because they often ill and have a problems with heart, lungs and bones. To illustrate, in our hospital every day I see a queue of elderly who wants to make an appointment with ophthalmologists, cardiologists and other specialists, however in nursing homes they can spend time for pleasure and visit a specialists without queue. In addition, if retiree stay with family and relatives try to take care of them, old people will stay without communication, which they can receive in nursing homes. Much time old people prefer telling a lot of life stories and discussing daily news, it helps them fill well and be needful and interesting. However during spending time at home with relatives, which have a lot of daily work and shortage time to listen stories, old people try to «switch on» TV program and then bore alone. However nursing homes will never be the home with supportive relatives. Only at home they can fill warm and pleasant atmosphere. Family encourage can help to combat with diseases and improving mood. I would like to mention that own walls are cure. In conclusion I somewhat believe that home for elderly is provide convenient medical services and communication with the same retiree. However, I admit that home with supportive relatives and warm, pleasant atmosphere can’t be replaced by nursing home. It seems to me that positive effects such as good and important medical services, communication with the same retiree which can give nursing homes outweighs the negative development.
