nursing home vs. the home environment

Love and freedom are not two different issues in life. Love and freedom combined mean security ya

and trust. The nursing home might seem like the

best idea because of it’s safety and staffing, if a

good one is chosen for the senior citizen. Yet it

can’t provide the freedom and privacy that the

home environment can. Perhaps it is better

to call a nursing home “a place of institutional

living for the elderly”. Many times a nursing

home serves as the next logical step for hospitals

when the elderly patient is stabilized and past a

crisis point. Yet what nursing homes often are

are protective domes for unwanted elderly folk.

The elderly patient may have become convinced

that any conditions and/or illnesses they have

are intractable since they are old. A caring

family member can make all the difference!

Our loved ones are our most precious

commodity. God loves each and every one of

us.

Growing old is a beautiful thing. It is God’s

GRACE personified! Each and every passing

day in an elderly person’s life can be filled with

serenity and joy . Each day can be a victory.

And for an

elderly couple just being together

at home takes on a very special meaning. And

when an elderly person speaks pay attention.

They need all the LOVE AND CARING we can

give them!

Hello world!
