Why has hiring an acquaintance become a popular choice?<\/h2>\n<p>In Vietnamese culture, caring for the elderly is always associated with emotional connection.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udc49 When you need someone to take care of you:<\/li>\n<li>The family prioritizes acquaintances.<\/li>\n<li>The desire is for &quot;family members to take care of family members&quot;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Initial benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy to trust<\/li>\n<li>No need for extensive checks.<\/li>\n<li>Comfortable communication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>But the problem is:<\/li>\n<li>These benefits only exist in the initial stage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. When problems begin to arise \u2013 the hardest part isn&#039;t the maintenance.<\/h2>\n<p>After one to two weeks of caring for a sick elderly person, many families begin to realize:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The caregiver lacks skills.<\/li>\n<li>Working habitually<\/li>\n<li>Not understanding the proper way to care for them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u2757 Very common situations:<\/li>\n<li>Assisting elderly people with incorrect posture.<\/li>\n<li>Uncontrolled diet<\/li>\n<li>Failing to recognize abnormal signs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>But the hardest part is:<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cannot say it directly<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3. The &quot;reluctance to give feedback&quot; mentality \u2013 the biggest weakness of this model.<\/h2>\n<p>When hiring strangers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udc49 Not okay \u2192 change<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But when hiring someone you know:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udc49 This is not good \u2192 very awkward<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Typical families:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reluctant to give feedback<\/li>\n<li>Afraid of offending others.<\/li>\n<li>Afraid of affecting the relationship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udc49 Result:<\/li>\n<li>I know it&#039;s not good enough yet.<\/li>\n<li>But we still have to continue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udc49 This is extremely dangerous when caring for sick parents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>4. Lack of training \u2013 mistakes happen every day.<\/h2>\n<p>Caring for the elderly is not just about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Feed<\/li>\n<li>Chat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And also:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Provide the right support.<\/li>\n<li>Health monitoring<\/li>\n<li>Handling the situation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udc49 When there is no training:<\/li>\n<li>Each person takes care of things in their own way.<\/li>\n<li>There are no standards.<\/li>\n<li>No consistency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udc49 With long-term care for the elderly, this creates:<\/li>\n<li><strong>Small deviations accumulate into major problems.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>5. There is no system \u2013 everything depends on \u201cconsciousness\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>The acquaintance model:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udc49 None:<\/li>\n<li>Procedure<\/li>\n<li>Monitor<\/li>\n<li>Evaluate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>This leads to:<\/li>\n<li>No one checked.<\/li>\n<li>No one reminded them.<\/li>\n<li>No one takes responsibility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udc49 The family must:<\/li>\n<li>Just take care<\/li>\n<li>Management<\/li>\n<li>Both worried<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>6. When it comes to making substitutions \u2013 there&#039;s almost no way out.<\/h2>\n<p>This is a very common situation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udc49 The family is no longer satisfied.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cannot say it directly<\/li>\n<li>It&#039;s not easy to find new people.<\/li>\n<li>I don&#039;t want to lose the relationship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udc49 Result:<\/li>\n<li>Accept to continue<\/li>\n<li>Or interruption of care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udc49 Both directly affect the process. <a href=\"https:\/\/sanpro.vn\/dich-vu\/cham-soc-nguoi-benh-tai-nha-tphcm\/\">caring for the elderly and sick.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>7.
