Old people in Canada have several lifestyles.

The first is to live in an apartment or community for the elderly. Canadian apartments and communities for the elderly are different from nursing homes in China. They still live in a family, but only eligible elderly couples or single elderly people can move in. Apartments and communities for the elderly are built by the government and rented out to the elderly who apply for and are approved to live at low prices. But if you live in an apartment for the elderly, you must be able to take care of yourself. If you are old, sick and unable to take care of yourself, the apartment for the elderly will not work. You have to go to a nursing home.

Nursing homes run by the Canadian government are generally managed by public hospitals, and the medical conditions are absolutely unknown. The hospital provides 24-hour nursing service. Accommodation conditions are good, one person has a single room, and the recipes are carefully designed by full-time nutritionists. Living in a nursing home in Canada, medical expenses are borne by medical insurance, and other expenses are paid by yourself. However, their charging standards are very interesting. No matter how much money you earn (pension), 80% of your monthly after-tax income will be given to the nursing home, and you don't have to worry about the rest. If you are rich, you will be donated to the government. The cost of nursing homes has nothing to do with the children of the elderly. Even if the son is a billionaire, the old man only has a monthly after-tax income of 2,000 yuan, so he can only pay 80% of this 2,000 yuan.

The obligation of the Canadian government to provide for the elderly for its taxpayers can be described as due diligence. Compared with Canadian dependence on the welfare of the elderly, China's pension system has been reformed, but it mainly relies on traditional family and ethics, which is called "raising children to prevent the elderly".

Obviously, the way of providing for the aged in Canada can better protect the old people's life in their later years and ensure that the old people have a sense of security.
