In an age that people are expected to live to 100 years, even if you retire at 70, you still have 30 years left to live. There are a few tips to help you enjoy the rest of your life. If you can determine that you have about 30 years left to live, you can visualize your assets and healthy life expectancy. However, there are some problems. First, there is the decline in your physical and mental functions. Things that you would never have imagined when you were younger, such as not being able to see things, not being able to hear voices, not being able to move as you want, and forgetting things easily, are starting to happen. I thought about how to live a fun life in these unexpected situations. Then, I realized that observing the lives of people with disabilities from a young age can provide a learning experience. For example, people with early-onset Alzheimer’s dementia are living a fun life. Their lives can serve as a reference for the fun lives of seniors with declining physical and mental functions. Even if your physical and mental functions decline, you just need to recreate that situation. This decline in physical and mental functions can be seen in the lives of people in nursing homes and care facilities.
So, what is a good facility? When it becomes necessary to choose a nursing home, the perspective of institutional disease is also important. The fact that many children grow up with severely delayed mental and physical development is called hospitalism. These children are characterized by a lack of emotional expression and severely delayed mental and physical development. This has become common among children who grew up in poor institutions, and has become a social problem. The characteristics of these institutions are that they rarely talk to children, and they occur in infant homes where children just sit there all day. Infant homes and nursing homes that are understaffed and rarely talk to or smile at children are the ones to watch out for.
Developmental psychologist Piaget mentions “adjustment” and “assimilation.” Taking in information, which he believes is an important aspect of development, is assimilation. When your knowledge is changed by new information, it is called adjustment. One way to suppress aging is to take in knowledge and experience and increase your knowledge and experience. Humans continue to grow by taking in new information every day and updating their knowledge. When choosing a nursing home, it is necessary to check whether it provides the appropriate human stimulation. It is necessary to determine the number of staff relative to the number of residents, their attitude, and the overall atmosphere of the facility. When choosing a nursing home, it is best to hope that it provides the appropriate human stimulation.
