Nursing home fire accidents lie in the location of the nursing home, building materials, fire equipment, security measures, management norms and other issues.

Nursing home is not the "worst choice"
With the advancement of the aging society, more and more people are thinking about the future of the old is not to live in a nursing home, the reason for this, many people said that now we are quite busy, the future of the child will be even busier, the pressure would have been very large, do not want to give the child Increase the burden; another part of the feeling that there must be a generation gap between the two generations, living together many opinions are difficult to unify, older and afraid of no one around to take care of an accident, live in a nursing home is a once-and-for-all. However, the frequent occurrence of nursing home incidents has made many people beat a retreat.
In fact, there are a variety of choices for old age, whether it's home care, community care, or living in a nursing home, you can work hard to enjoy your old age. Even if you live to an advanced age, life is still varied and still a choice.
High-quality life in old age is not dependent on children or society, but on the responsibility of life from now on, to accumulate a variety of "old capital" for old age, and continue to cut costs.
Money old money If you are lucky enough to live to an advanced age, a certain quality of life must also need the support of money, whether you intend to age in place, or to send themselves into a nursing home. Learning to manage money and plan ahead is a lesson our generation has to learn. Not burdening your children and using your own money to support yourself in your old age will make you feel that you are still in control of your own life, and your satisfaction with life can definitely increase a lot.
Spiritual old money Career is over, out of the "organization" and the role of the past, your "self", the meaning of your life, need to be re-orientation and excavation.

Healthy aging Of course, a high quality of life at an advanced age is most dependent on healthy aging.
With so much capital, there is no fear of a bad old age?
Bad temper may be depressed
Mood suppression, depression, extreme irritability or irritability, "as if separated from others by a wall", often due to small things to lose their temper ...... In fact, many elderly people have more or less similar situations and symptoms. The bad thing is that, for the elderly, these depressed emotions can not be like young people through the "talk" and "vent" way to get relief, day after day, more and more save more and more, and gradually become devoured by the elderly body and mind of the negative energy and toxins.
Some worldwide surveys have found that in the elderly group, with symptoms of depression accounted for about 30%, in different parts of China's survey also found that there are symptoms of depression in the elderly for about 13% to 30%.
"The percentage is quite high, but the importance is often overlooked by us." Dr. Cao Xiancai of the Geriatric Psychology Laboratory of Beijing Normal University introduced that the elderly depression, related to many factors, and one of the most concerned about a major factor than loneliness - out of the workplace, children work outside, the old companion "one step ahead of the other", was sent to a nursing home, etc., are the cause of loneliness in the elderly. These are all important factors that contribute to the loneliness of the elderly.
Not only does the sharp decline in social interaction have an impact on the mood of the elderly, but even some of the diseases that are highly prevalent among the elderly can lead to depression, such as hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, tumors and so on. The tolerance of the elderly to physical illness and mental frustration is far less than that of young people, and these cumulative physical and mental burdens do not exacerbate the elderly's sense of isolation, loneliness and helplessness, including worries about physical illness and life security, which, over time, can become a source of depression and frustration.
And from the perspective of the elderly themselves, the character of the old will indeed follow the change, such as stubbornness, dependence on these personality traits began to emerge. Studies have also found that the more stubborn and dependent the elderly, the higher the likelihood of depression. Cao Xiancai suggested that the elderly should find more trusted friends and relatives, and they share their experiences, and take the initiative to seek help and support; you can also often participate in some social activities, such as chess, chatting with other elderly people in the community, boxing, dancing. If there is a lack of such friends and family around, you can also look for a counselor to talk to.
