Senior homes-Is that the way to treat the people that raised you?

When our parents get old, many of us place them in senior homes. The reason for placing parents in senior homes is obvious….people work and they don’t have time to stay home and take care of their old parents. There is a day and night difference between taking care of your own parents and having them taken care of by random people and nurses in senior homes. The way you would care for and treat your own parents is usually not the same way they are treated behind closed doors in senior homes. The way nurses and others treat them in senior homes is usually not the best way to treat any old and lonely person. They will usually stop by or contact you whenever necessary or if you call them for something. But the interaction between old people and nurses and others that take care of them in senior homes is that there is barely any emotion involved. They will stop by and take care of you and then just leave as fast as he/she or they came through that door. Usually there is no legitimate conversation or expression of thoughts involved. That is something that is crucial which is lacking.
Senior centers are a business. They are about their profits. It is a business and it makes sense for them to seek profit. However, they exist because there is a demand for senior homes. People are busy working and don’t have the time and/or patience to take care of their parents as they get older and start to become immobile, slow, or sick. We have come this far with all our technological advancement, toleration, and acceptance of other cultures and religion but when our folks get old we push them out of sight and place them in senior homes. Obviously, this is immoral and riddled with ignorance because whether or not most people acknowledge the fact that by sending their parents to senior homes they are basically placing them in a room where unknown people (nurses /doctors and others) will stop by and just take care of them and leave (it’s kind of like a hi and bye thing when you see your neighbor or someone in the street you don’t really care about). Based on my own direct observation, I saw that the people are very lonely and some of them are depressed because they don’t get much “people contact” and are just sitting around as time passes. Once in a while their relatives or son/daughter comes to visit and then they are gone and it’s back to staring at the wall.
Nurses, doctors, and other people that work in senior homes are only doing what they need to do-doing their job. Senior homes are businesses and the people that are being “taken care of” are their clients. In practice, clients are greeted with “hi, how are you”, and “thank you, see you later”, or something like that. That’s basically what happens in senior homes-there is no actual and legitimate sense of “being by your side”. They come, do what they need to do to take care of your parent and leave. If you were taking care of your own parents, the way you would take care of them would involve conversation and a sense of a known and trusted person being by their side. That is something which is not present in senior homes and you can’t expect that either because those people don’t know your parents. Even if they were to sit around and talk with your parents and make them feel better somehow, then they would not have the time to go around and deal with other clients.
So is it the way to treat your parents when they are old? - by placing them in senior homes where they are going to keep their mouth shut, spend most of their time staring at the walls or sleeping and not talking to anyone. Unfortunately, many people send their parents to senior homes/centers.
