8. Structured Schedules

It’s often easier for seniors to function when on a more structured schedule. But if an aging parent is living in a house with their children, who may also have kids of their own and busy social, work, and school schedules, it can be hard for the elderly family member to have their own regular schedule.

As we age, it becomes increasingly vital to stay on a schedule, so another benefit of living in a nursing facility is this structured, scheduled life. Social activities are scheduled for certain times, meals are served only at certain times, and there’s always assistance in regulating the schedule. This can be great for the health and general wellbeing of your aging loved one.

    Your depiction of these nursing homes can only be affordable to those with the financial means.
    Due to the labor shortage and greedy nursing companies these facilities have now become dangerous.
    Not only for day to day care but the administration of medication.
    Tell the entire truth.
