Caring for the Elderly at Home During Tet: Health Gifts Are More Important Than Gifts
Tet, the Lunar New Year, is a time for family reunions, but sometimes the hustle and bustle and disruptions to daily routines pose significant health risks for the elderly. Many young people are tired from the festivities, but the elderly are exhausted by the disruption to their daily routines. This is a leading cause of hospitalization for the elderly immediately after the Tet holiday.
Why is Tet (Lunar New Year) the most sensitive period for the health of the elderly?
When the elderly body is disrupted, even a small change can lead to serious complications. The following factors often have a negative impact during Tet (Lunar New Year):
- Sudden changes in diet (eating a lot of sticky rice, fried foods, and sweets).
- Being forced to eat/drink alcohol and eat too much sticky rice cake.
- Staying up late, lack of deep sleep due to a crowded house or noise.
- Taking medication at the wrong time, missing doses, or taking the wrong medication.
- Sudden temperature changes when moving between rooms or going outdoors.
The True Gift of Health: Moderation and Timely Care
During Tet (Lunar New Year), we often buy expensive material gifts such as new clothes, Tet gift baskets, fine wines, or high-end bird's nest products. However, for the elderly, these gifts cannot replace stable health.
What Do the Elderly Need Instead of Material Gifts?
What older people need is the "gift of true health"—meticulous and consistent care.
- Fixed meal times, light and easily digestible meals.
- Go to bed early and ensure a quiet environment.
- Someone who reminds and monitors when to take medication on time.
- The living environment has a stable room temperature.
