Take Care of our Senior Citizens
Senior Citizens are a prized possession to our society. They have worked hard all these years for the development of the nation as well as the community. They have a treasure of experience in different walks of life. The youth of present generation can gain from the experience of the senior citizens in taking the nation to greater heights. At this point in their life, they need to be taken care of and made to feel special.
Seniors want to hang on their independence for as long as they can. Many are afraid to be in a nursing home, largely because they don't want to lose control over their lives. Most of the people want to help their aging parents stay as happy and fulfilled as possible and hope they can help their parents to find the best living situation that meshes well with their needs.
This involves learning what senior home care options are available and helping their parents to choose the one best for their unique situation and lifestyle.
A senior's medical needs are primary on the list of services he will need if he chooses to remain living in his home. Home health agencies provide medically-related services such as physicals, daily health-check monitoring, visiting nurses, live-in care providers and even assistance in coordinating visits with multiple specialists such as cardiologists, pulmonary specialists, internists and mental health providers.
A senior may require nutritional therapies through specially placed tubes. Professionals providing this type of care come to a senior's home. Most seniors need reliable medical equipment, such as oxygen, a blood-pressure monitor and a diabetes tester at some point in their lives. Walkers, canes and wheelchairs are also considered to be durable medical equipment and the costs of these items are normally beared by Medicare and private insurance.
Safety and security of the elderly, especially those living alone are a concern. Not only to themselves but also to their families and to the community in general too. Due to various reasons older persons are at times confined to live away from their families and loved ones, which makes them particularly vulnerable to safety and security hazards.
Living alone can increase feelings of vulnerability and anxiety about personal security and of the home environs. Consequently, it is necessary for the family and the community - as also the old folks themselves, to be aware and to worry about these issues; to know the solutions, and take possible precautions that would ensure security.
Anil Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group has always accentuated that elders at home are an asset. They can ground the generation-next in sound values, norms of conduct, and ethics.
The Harmony Initiative, an initiative of the Dhirubhai Ambani Memorial Trust, led by Tina Ambani, was established to improve the life of every elder person across income, class and region. Unwavering dedication and research led the way. From government policies and data collection to social awareness, they close serious gaps in the care of the elder ones. They spur the elderly into greater self-Reliance, and convince them that it's their right to live life with dignity.
Taking their words and deeds as inspiration we need to take care and respect the senior citizens around us.
