14.My experience with care giving and the elderly is that often the emotional needs of their loved ones are missed.In a nursing home,there is not enough staff.At home,many families are often overworked and stressed in today's fast moving world.People do not realize how their mom or dad is feeling with the loss of the independence and rights.(36)G Your mother or father took care of you for years.Now in their advanced age and health condition,they need to be taken care of.They cannot walk well,talk well and their memory is fading.They may be in a wheel chair.They cannot do much for you or for themselves.(37)AThey even often feel they have really nothing to live for and are just taking up time and space.
You can find ways to make your parents feel important.For example,you ask them for their advice even if you don't want it or it doesn't make sense.It's the idea that you are considering their opinion and their view.It's for them not you.(38)FHelping with cooking or dishes and watching the kids make them feel they are in need.
Often in nursing homes,your loved one suffering from disease or bad health may not smell good.You must overcome that to give them what they need.It is as important as food to many of them.They get little of it from the nursing staff.(39)CAs elderly people,they need to be touched.(40)BAll too many times in nursing homes or even in their own home,people stop visiting.Often it is because friends are uncomfortable during the visit because the patient cannot communicate well and doesn't smell good.You need to give them what they need----your time.Wheel them out for a few minutes of sunshine and share with them your news.If they don't understand it all,it's OK,for you are there and it makes them feel loved.
A.In such situations,they feel useless.
B.Elderly people have the need for company.
C.Actions such as hugging them and shaking their hands show your love.
D.It is your role to make life easier but not to take over their life completely.
E.Remember,someday you will be old and you wouldn't be treated like this.
F.Another example is to give them tasks in the family that they are capable of doing.
G.I hope this article helps family members to see a side of the situation.
