Is it true that senior citizen would be more suffered and older when they move from their old homes?

no matter what the reason an elder moves out of her own home to a new place, she will be depressed and grieve at the loss. I have gone to so many grief seminars and have learned that anything you lose, be it an animal, your teeth, your ability to walk any distance, your spouse, your house,your freedom,you grieve its loss and that is one of the reasons that elders are depressed. I have been in this home for 44 yrs. If my spouse dies,I can't care for the house myself and may not be able to pay all the bills and keep up the maintenance,so I will have to move somewhere and live off the proceeds of the house. Just thinking about those things makes me cry. My grandma,when her husband died she had to move nearer my mom and she became confused and woke up not knowing where she was,and did not last laong after the move. It is a major trauma in an elders life.Is it true that senior citizen would be more suffered and older when they move from their old homes?
In physiology 101 you learn that, the older a person is, the harder it is to deal with changes in life.Is it true that senior citizen would be more suffered and older when they move from their old homes?
yes. though they might get food and shelter, they would never in turn get the affection of their son/daughter ever agan and its always a everlasting dream till they live.
Sorry i am trying to read between the lines of your question do you mean will a senior citizen suffer more as they get older and move out of their own homes. If that is what you mean, then i would say yes i think they do suffer more, the older you get the more secure you want to feel and want to have familiar things and familiar people around you, also you don't want to have to rely on someone else to look after you.
Ans. NO. In the present circumestences of strugle for existence both son %26amp; daughter-in-law are forced to do jobs to earn money to brought up their children %26amp; educate them. so they could not pay attention to elder people in house. So they are keeping them in oldage homes. Older people or more happy in old age homes as they are getting company of their age group people and feeling happy.
If you are asking if a senior citizen would suffer maybe from depression and feel like giving up if moved from their home to some place they didn't want to be, then yes, I've seen it happen.
Studies show that persons who are elderly [usually those over mid 70's or so] and who have lived in the same home for some time do not adjust well to change of residence; particularly if moving alone from a once shared family home.





When my mom had to be moved, we made certain we were able to move into her new place, keepsake items and a few pieces of her favorite furniture.





When the person has some type of dementia, it is even more difficult for them to adjust to change
i am doing that very thing. i own my home, but i am tired of mowing the 4 lots it sets on. i am also tired of fixing tings, or seeing that they get fixed. i do not want the responsibilities anymore. i just want to lean back and coast the rest of the way. i know i will miss the independence, but my wife and i have talked it over and agreed. chevk spelling sometimes does not have the right words to replace, as you will notice above.
I will be suffering and older when I move from my old house...I think so. Your question is worded a bit off beat.


How did you know my home was old?


How do you know I am suffering?


How do you know I am older?


Are you one of the voices I hear?


My daughter is jealous because you only talk to me...will you give her a call?
Old peple's sense of familiarity is an asset to them. By virtue of it, even when the lights go off, they could successfully feel their way to the toilet.In a new envronment,till they get acclimatized,lifewould be difficult.


Similarly they may not get sound sleep nor their bowel movements be regular.
Yes.
That kind of depends on the reason they move.


Some Seniors move for convince sake, to get away from the upkeep and worry of keeping up a house. They may choose to move to a Senior Care Facility and in that case, most do really well.


Some move in with a family member and a lot of times that works out pretty good, but to an extent, they give up their independence.


There are those, however, who cannot take care of themselves, much less a house, who's loved ones must make decisions for them. Loosing your independence is a very difficult way to live.


There are Nursing Homes, now days that are decent places to live. Unfortunately..not all of them.


In answer to your question. I believe that it depends on the individual and the circumstances.
yes,.
