Elderly care services: Solutions for getting grandparents to check-ups on schedule when parents are busy taking care of grandchildren.
A very common paradox in modern Vietnamese families is that grandparents are responsible for looking after their grandchildren every day, but few have the time and energy to take them for regular health checkups.
In young families, a three-generation living arrangement is very common. When parents go to work, all family schedules and time revolve around the baby. As a result, the grandparents' health check-ups are relegated to the bottom of the priority list.
The reality of elderly people's appointment schedules being "lost"
1. The health of the elderly cannot wait for compromises.
Elderly people often have a tendency to give way to their children and grandchildren. They often say, "Let's go later, take the grandchildren to school first," or "Grandpa isn't in too much pain." However, illnesses in the elderly cannot be excused. If the golden time for examination is missed, the disease can easily become severe.
- Arthritis flared up on a cold day.
- Heart rate or blood pressure suddenly spikes in the early morning.
- Blood sugar levels fluctuate when the body is weak or when there isn't enough sleep.
Delaying medical checkups can lead to much more serious and costly health consequences later on.
2. Overwhelming pressure on young parents.
Modern young parents often face an overwhelming workload and family responsibilities. Their days are almost devoid of free time:
- Morning: Take the kids to school, deal with urgent work.
- Lunchtime: stressful work and meetings.
- Evening: Pick up the kids, cook dinner, help them with their homework.
- Nighttime: Waking up to care for the baby when he/she is fussy or has a fever.
Who has the energy to wake up at 7 a.m., take their grandparents to the hospital, and wait for hours to get a number? Furthermore, taking the elderly to the doctor presents many other obstacles:
- Young children cannot sit and wait for hours at the hospital.
- The elderly couple are frail and need someone to help them walk and keep them close, but there are only one or two healthy people in the house.
- Basic household chores still need to be taken care of. To alleviate this burden, many families turn to support services such as housemaid by the hour.
