Your Parents Deserved a Better Living Life!

What’s your definition of this word, “Life”? For me, it’s a very unique form. Go figure, once we’re born into this world, we’ll grow up, studying in the elementary, junior and senior high, maybe some of us are furthering our study to the university or college! Once we’ve graduated, we have to find a job with good benefits and opportunity. Then, some of us are getting married, having their own children and seeing them growing up!

We haven’t noticed that we’re getting older day after day. Although not one wants to be ageing, but you cannot do anything to stop it, as it is a natural process.
Cassandra, my former college economy’s course mate, have dropped me a phone call yesterday afternoon. In the conversation, she felt sorry and regretted with her parents, as she didn’t have the time to visit them occasionally, due to the excessive workloads.

Since both of her parents are already exceeded 55-year-old, she is afraid to leave them alone at home, as her father got arteriosclerosis, while her mother was suffering with diabetes mellitus. However, she failed to persuade them to move out and live with her, as they want to stick on with their old neighborhoods!

In this case, I gave Cassandra an advice. I recommended her to convince her parents to live in one of the 55 communities in PA. Basically, it is a retirement communities, which is offering a better daily care to the golden age parents. In the communities, the ageing parents have the chance to do the activities they like, such as golf, tennis, chess and much more.

Since they’re taking care by the professional and well-trained nursing assistants, hence they have a lower possibility of dying in home alone!

Cassandra accepted my advice and she decided to send her parents to the local retirement community next week. Hopefully, her parents will have a happier and healthier life…
