The new crown pneumonia is raging all over the world. In the past two years, under the epidemic prevention measures, the days when family members can visit and guard the elderly are very few.
Mr. Wu's mother has lived in Haitian Nursing Home for more than 12 years. The day before the implementation of the new round of epidemic prevention measures, she interviewed and visited her 100-year-old mother.
Mrs. Wu has limited mobility and no longer recognizes her son.
Mr. Wu believes that his mother cannot understand the relocation. He has no clue at the moment: "Seeing the steps, I hope there will be a turning point so that they can continue to live."
"If the elderly are required to move out, they will have to adapt for a period of time, which will affect their health; it will affect their family's visits, and, as Lam said on the 5th, they will tighten the epidemic (anti-epidemic measures), please call us What do you do? It’s going to be banned everywhere? Even the nursing home will be closed.” Mr. Wu pointed out that the nursing home has been in operation for more than 19 years, with smooth operation, good reputation and service. Helping Haitian Nursing Home can save resources for the elderly. "I hope the senior officials will really go out and help."
A filial daughter who works as a nurse for her mother's school laments that it is difficult to find a new home to accommodate the mother and daughter
Ah Wing, who worked as a nurse at Haitian Nursing Home, was unable to continue his clerical work two years ago due to the epidemic, so he resolutely took nursing courses and changed careers.
Later, while her mother's health suddenly deteriorated to the point that Hai Tian was in old age, Ah Wing also went to Hai Tian as a nurse to take care of her mother and other residents.
She is very familiar with the elders she takes care of, "When my heart is so thin, my family is fat and so cute, my fourth sister talks a lot, and I love to hear what happened in the past, (I) will feel very happy, learn a lot of things."
Regarding the need to find another institution, she sighed, "Many institutions are not allowed to enter during the epidemic due to the family's family. They can only provide you with the information or the price list. They are the same, and there is nothing to choose from. Going to the market to buy a vegetable is to put down your beloved one’s life. I want to know more about it. But it (the institution) only talks about how much money and whether there is a room.” Even if the new institution is willing to take in her mother , and may not be willing to take in her, a novice nurse.
Therefore, she hopes that the owner will continue to allow the nursing home to operate as much as possible, so that the elderly can enjoy their old age in peace.
