At least for now, most elderly people are reluctant to choose so-called professional institutions for the aged, in other words, nursing homes. This is an important reason why many elderly people are unwilling to choose, especially on the premise that they are physically and mentally healthy and can stand on their own feet in their own lives. On the one hand, if you choose to enter a professional old-age care institution, there may be caregivers and some elderly people of the same age around you, but after all, this is not your home in life, and there may be a lot of discomfort, which is also an important reason.
In fact, statistics show that more than half of all retired elderly people will choose to settle alone. In other words, they will settle with their wives, and they cannot choose nursing homes or even live with their children. Less than 27% of the elderly choose to live with their children. It can be said that these ratios are relatively low, which is actually the level of 4/ 1. In that case, the elderly who finally fail to reach 10% will choose professional pension institutions.
There is a simple reason. Some old people should have no children, and some old people are likely to have children who are not together. In other words, children can't take care of their daily life after retirement because of their busy work. Therefore, we have no choice but to choose nursing homes, but the overall occupancy rate is not very high, which fully proves that most elderly people are unwilling to choose to enter nursing homes. Therefore, the form of home-based care for the elderly is actually the most popular method at present, and it is the way most elderly people choose.
