Sending an elderly to a private nursing home or elderly daycare is still a conservative thought in many countries in Asia like Singapore, but is it acceptable to your parents in a nursing home? If you are not sure of your answer, check these reasons for you to consider.
Work to Commit
The regular working hours in Singapore requires a total of 44 hours a week, and there are only a few hours left before the day ends and start over again, which means you wouldn’t have much time to take care of your elderly and the best choice is to send to day care and fetch them at the end of the day.
Changing Career as a Caregiver
There is nothing wrong being a caregiver of your parents, but visiting an elderly day care would be as efficient as enrolling them to nursing home operators because as they grow older, they would need a higher level of medical assistance that a licenced caregiver can do for them.
Elderly Needs Constant Care
As time passes, your parent would need a constant care, which means it will trouble you to commit with your job, meets the needs of your children, and eventually, stress would build-up, and you failed not their offspring but as their caregiver, but when you admit them to a private nursing home, there will be a 24/7 medical assistance from caregivers and doctors.
They Got Into Accident
It is inevitable to protect them while you are away from home. For instance, if you are at work, and knock on wood, and they accidentally slip on the floor, and they slightly injured themselves. So, if these happen once or twice, please consider to put them to an elderly day care for the day, to make sure they are safe.
