CARING FOR THE AGED, OLD PEOPLE - COPING WITH THE ELDERLY, SENIOR CITIZENS
(Based on author’s site www.geocities.com/ldrly)
Caring for the elderly at is hard for all because, in taking care of old people, senior citizens and carers of the aged are not understood by families of aged persons.
Taking care of the elderly, caring for old people, especially if caring for the aged personally, often needlessly causes hurt to persons caring for old people or to the elderly or both, to carers of aged persons and to old persons -more so where the elderly are not ill old people but healthy senior citizens, and where loved ones care for the aged. But hurt in old age, upset to the carer of an old person can be avoided. Here is how to care for the elderly.
In coping with old people issues, avoidance of hurt to the elderly and upset to those taking care of the aged, begin with appreciating the aged and those caring for the elderly.
The care of the elderly in extreme cases of old age not common to old people aside, the old age of senior citizens need not be a problem in caring for aged persons -neither to aged persons nor to those caring on behalf of the families of the aged, if the following tips on how to take care of the elderly are kept in mind by persons caring for the aged, and by the families of old people and of those caring for the elderly.
In caring for the elderly the first problem is not the elderly, but unawareness of the persons taking care of the elderly of the appreciation by those for whom also old people are cared for -that the family of the old person do appreciate the regular attendance to that old person ~more so if the care of the elderly is by one only of the members of the family of the aged; the occasional 'How are you coping?' by the relatives of the elderly is morale boosting to those caring for aged persons.
Other problems in caring for the elderly which both the old people and carers for the aged have fall into three categories, below, arising from assuming that old age means physically and/or mentally weak, which old age does not make the elderly and most old people enjoy good health, many of the aged continuing to work after they have become senior citizens.
The status enjoyed by old persons before their old age is important to old people; the elderly must not be treated as children: the aged expect their privacy to be respected, also not to be excluded from family discussions -it hurts the dignity of old people needlessly to be spoken to loudly or slowly or be ignored and causes resentment by the elderly.
Aged persons do not cease to like activity; old fashioned habits and interests of the aged must not be made light of: many old people are young in heart and outright rejection of help offered by the aged, limiting old age pass-times, objecting to elderly friends, annoy old people -older people, seniors, don't like it.
Crises in old age affecting also those caring for old people and the families of the aged mostly is due to inadequate consultation with the elderly: if old persons are to be subjected to change of environment or arrangements, consult and prepare them -taking it for granted that the elderly will adjust causes confrontation.
Treat old people normally and thank those who have undertaken the taking care of the elderly.

By: Beautiful_Princess | 10-07-2008
I met this guy about a month ago... and we hit it off. I thought that it might go somewhere... but all he wants is sex. I don't know if I am ready for that... I am 18 years old and still hold my big V. He told me that he does not want a relationship and that he just wants to be "friends with benefits". My sister... and sister in law have told me to wait.. and to not do anything. But I feel that if I don't wait then it may lead to something better... like a relationship. I don't know if I got myself hooked on a player, and whether I should keep talking to him or not. He does not live around me... when I go to college he will be closer and he said that he would be visiting me more. I really like this guy and don't know what to do...
