Elderly people seek out nursing homes on their own because they are afraid of burdening their children and grandchildren – SAN

There's a very quiet but growing trend: older people are finding **nursing homes** for themselves.

It's not that they don't love their children and grandchildren. On the contrary, they love them so much that they don't want to bother them.

Many elderly people understand the circumstances of their children and grandchildren: hard work, financial pressure, and young children. They see that exhaustion every day and begin to wonder: "Am I a **burden**?"

From that question, they quietly sought out **"nursing homes"**, **"day care homes"**, as a way of withdrawing themselves. (For more information about these facilities, you can refer to the information about...) Nursing home (on Wikipedia).

What older people fear most: Loss of self-respect and the right to choose.

But deep down, what the elderly fear most is not the lack of care. They fear **losing their self-esteem**.

SAN It was created to address that very fear.

This is an app for **senior care**, **elderly care**, and patient care, allowing seniors to receive support without leaving home, without being "sent to daycare," and without feeling like they need to be managed. (Learn about the service) Home care for the elderly and Caring for the sick).

Support, not control – Retain ownership.

With SAN, seniors remain the owners of their homes. They have the right to agree, disagree, choose the time, and choose the level of support. Ms. SAN is there to help – not to replace, and certainly not to control.

This is especially important for elderly people who are still mentally alert and have high self-esteem. They don't want to be seen as "too weak" or "too old to be taken away." They just need a little timely support to continue living the way they know.

Allow older adults to have a proactive choice:

• If you're tired today, please help out for a few hours.
• It won't be necessary another day when I'm feeling better.
• It may increase, it may decrease, nobody is forcing anyone.

Regarding costs, we'll keep it at 45,000 – 80,000 VND/hour, with an additional 10% on weekends, ensuring transparency so that the elderly or their families can easily consider their options. There's no need for long-term contracts or putting them in a difficult situation.

Compared to nursing homes, where the elderly are more likely to feel "they've been dictated to," retaining their sense of ownership is crucial for their mental well-being.

Live with respect, not pity.

Many elderly people who have used the service share that they feel more at ease. They feel relieved because they don't bother their children and grandchildren, but also because they don't have to leave their familiar lives.

Getting older doesn't mean disappearing from family life. We believe that older people deserve support with **respect**, not pity.
