Why Elderly People Need More Care?



Elderly people are like assets in our life with lots of experience, knowledge, and skills that not only grease the wheels for us but also help us gain proficiency. However, while gathering this informative know-how & meeting their career, financial & family responsibilities, these aces of our lives let go of their self-healing powers, strong immunity, strength & endurance and this happens naturally.

As a result, at the delicate phase of old-age, these people tend to draw in diseases like heart failure, arthritis, BP, diabetes, etc and so need more support, understanding, and comfort. And above everything, they need to sense the compassion, care, and connectedness of people around them, which can be offered by associating with them, making them a part of societal happenings and with the new-fangled trend of hiring a caretaker for them. 

A few reasons that can contribute to the fact that elderly people need more care and tenderness include the love that they have been showering upon us since we were born, the sacrifices made by them to bear the brunt of life's storms and most importantly our responsibilities towards them and our relationship with them. Undoubtedly, our attention, empathy, and softheartedness towards our parents become the most important duty when they step in this natural & inevitable process of aging. 

An aging community is likely to have more prevalence of severe illnesses, physical ailments, emotional issues and other miseries which results out of an array of reasons that include social concerns like children relocating to a different place & leaving their procreators lonely because of their job or occupation, lack of insights & awareness about the risk elements,  maltreatment, malnutrition and psycho-somatic issues like isolation, mental stress, etc.  

If their financial, nutritional, medical and social needs are duly met, life’s quality of the elderly can be improved significantly.

In the current, pandemic and distressing situation due to Corona COVID-19, older people need even more care & precautions as they are particularly vulnerable to a serious sickness. 

According to research, adults of 60 or above age, notably those with predating medical illnesses like a heart or lung disease, cancer or diabetes are more prone to get chronic or death-dealing COVID-19 infection than those of lower age groups.

It reflects the high-time when our beloved elderly ones need more care, protection, sanitization, and social distancing but not social seclusion.
