Topic 8. Should old people stay at home or be placed in nursing homes?


Should old people stay with their children or go to the nursing homes? Some hold that old people should stay at home. For one thing the young are obliged 1 to repay 2 the care and love they once received from the old. For another the old may help with some house work and gain a sense of achievement which is important for their mental and physical health. Finally when the old live with the young they may find it easier to catch up with new ideas. By contrast some argue that old people should be placed in nursing homes where they can not only have opportunities to communicate and have fun with their peers 3 but also be treated by professional doctors and nurses. Further more with the old staying in nursing homes the young may have more time and energy to devote to their own careers. In my view the decision should be made with all factors fully 4 considered. Above all the opinion of the old should be respected. They themselves should be the ones who make the decision not the young.
