skype about old people


I am getting busy, and my parents are getting old, is the question that whether they should stay in home or stay in nursing home.

Due to the single child policy carried out by government, how to raise the old people becomes a controversial issue which has been brought into public focus for many years. Quite a few people hold the view that the old people should stay at home as they are parents who give birth to them. However, many others point out that nowadays the young people spend much time on work, and they have no brothers and sisters to help to look after them. In my option, old people should stay at home. But in my view, I support that the best way for taking good care of them is to let them stay at home.

There are many reasons. To begin with, they are our closer relatives who raise us from baby to grow up. It’s comforting to see them at house by knowing the current physical conditions. Secondly, aged people, who live with their children, will not feel lonely. Their children can hire a expertise to do look after them. And if they have grandchild, it will be perfect to have grandchild around. My grandmother is a good example, who lives with us for all years and she still feels happy and healthy at home.

Of course there must be opposite opinions, believing that it's convenient for placing old people in nursing house because the children work overtime often and have no time to company with them. Besides, there are many other old people live there, who can make new friends and chat together. Thirdly, many responsible people who trained by expertise can take good care of them.

Both suggestions have their own reasons. As far as I concerned, I still agree with keeping the old people at home.
