Who is on this photo, Jane?
- My grandmother. She is a widow and lives in a nursing home.
- True: I heard that in Britain many adult children send their parents to nursing homes.
"Sometimes they do it." But that does not mean that they do not care about them. Let's take our family, for example. After the death of her husband, Grandmother Molly became more helpless. She was unable to look after herself properly, so we had to send her to a nursing home.
"Yes, but go on." What if you took her home and looked after her properly? Do not you miss that you do not see her every day?
- Yes. Well, you know, living in a nursing home is her own choice. Besides, my parents work, I go to school, so there is nobody to look after her all the time.
"Yes, but look." Do you really think she likes being there? I was told that some of these houses are terrible!
- Some yes, but in general such houses are very pleasant. My grandmother has her own room. She can always call a qualified nurse if she has any difficulties.
"Well, think about it in this vein." Families become less cohesive when they do not care about each other. They lose the warmth of the relationship, do not they?
"Perhaps it is." In fact, this is a problem for many families in Britain, and a huge number of nursing homes are in favor of this fact. And you do not seem to like it, do you?
"No, but look at it like that." We are all worried about our grandmothers and grandfathers when they grow old, but nursing homes are not the best solution to the problem, are they?
