In the city where you live, the transportation is developed, there are buses and subways, there are large supermarkets outside the neighborhood, everything is convenient. The grandparents were a bit curious at first and were happy to be in a big city. They often walk downstairs together. But after a long time, grandparents are not happy. The two old people complained that after the family work, no one to chat, the square downstairs is too big, there are many people at night, but during the day it is cold and quiet. The floor is so high that the neighbors are not familiar with it, and it is not as lively as the old compound. Slowly, the two old people at home talk less and less, often forget things, mood more and more irritable day by day.
The grandparents live in a high-rise building one day old Wu asked me, his grandparents so forgetful so boring will not get Alzheimer's disease. Need to take them to the hospital? I have seen this old couple. I don't think a case like his grandparents' is serious enough for Alzheimer's disease. Many elderly people who live in high-rise housing for a long time feel bored, impatient, unwilling to move, and out of place. Some elderly people feel that they are weak and prone to indigestion. From our past experience of volunteering in the community, these performances are very common among the elderly, especially those who have retired at home and live in high-rise residential buildings. These elderly people usually suffer from depression which affects their health.
Among them, diseases such as obesity and high blood pressure occur more frequently than in older people who are often in a good mood. This is mainly because retired elderly people have been living for a long time in high-rise closed houses in the city, with few neighborhood activities, without being forced out by their work every day, resulting in less contact with the outside world and fewer outdoor activities. When a person gradually disconnected from society, bad mood and bad body will automatically come to you.
What about depressed seniors with such seniors in their families?
More spiritual care for the elderly. As a child, try to avoid quarreling with them and don't impose many wishes on them. For the elderly who have gone through so many years, happiness is the last most important thing in life.
Supervise the elderly to increase their activities. Children can encourage and urge the elderly to find their favorite sports, such as walking, Tai Chi, aerial bamboo, dancing, gymnastics and so on. Physical activity is not only great for health, but also great for keeping seniors happy and getting rid of boredom. It can help the elderly at home to choose suitable items according to their hobbies, conditions and physical strength.
Living in a high-rise elderly downstairs more with the elderly. If you don't live in the same place, try to call the elderly at home a few times a week, don't fight with them, and spend more patience talking to them about things they are interested in. If we can bring them some good news, they will be very, very happy. If we live together, we should try to spend some time every day going downstairs with the elderly, walking around and taking a walk. Companionship is the best way to show love between people.
