Retirement communities Recently, there is a rising trend that the elderly goes with retirement communities instead of their mature children’s homes. In regard to this trend, I believe that disadvantages outweigh advantages. First of all, the living standards of the elderly may not be well guaranteed. The food provided by the canteen in the retirement community may not satisfy their appetite, causing nutritional imbalance. Apart from that, the older people with diseases, for example: heart disease, may forget to take medicines without their children’s reminds. Secondly, since more and more older generation chooses to live in retirement communities, the places of these communities will not be enough, which will cause that these communities fail to benefit those people really in need, for example, childless older adults. What is more, the price of retirement communities will be higher and higher. As a result, the poor people who are more likely have demands for nursing home cannot afford to apply for an apartment.Last but not least, the governments will have to fund more in the services system for the elderly, which will definitely aggravate the burden of the youngsters. For instance, the government needs to build more communities, increasing the housing pressure. Also there will be requirements to raise the pension, since living alone will be more expensive than staying at home.In conclusion, a growing number of older generation choosing to live in the retirement communities will have negative effects on themselves, the society and governments.
