I am 66 and my mother is 102. I had her come and live with me when she turned 80 as she was unable to live independently. My husband and my son's have looked after my in-laws till they were deceased at 85. I feel blessed that the almighty has given us the strength to give back to our parents, which is more important than things in life.

As a Japanese in my 50s I have to clarify something clearly important to everyone here. Japanese have the No. 1 longevity in the world with a large population of easily well over 100 yrs old of age because they eat so healthy. Imagine their “children” are in their 80s or at least in their 70s trying to take care of them when they are so old themselves. Japanese culture represents respecting the elderly more than most countries. Pray for those “children” who are seniors trying to care for their “elderly”parents’ physical and mental health. My parents took great care of all my grand parents in their 90s and lived happily.

[@sailingadventurer]

Yep, that's what I am trying to tell, this reporting is clearly making it sensational. I mean look at the wording, " Every eight days in the decade to 2021, an average of one elderly Japanese person was killed by a member of their own family or committed suicide after killing a relative they were caring for, according to a study released this month " I mean yeah, this clearly is a problem, "That's nearly 500 elderly people who got killed by family members in the decade leading to 2021 " mind you that's in a country of 120 million people whose 40 percent of population is above 60. But they got to get the views for making sensational claims, so they somehow worded it differently. Imagine the views it would get by wording it as " nearly 500 Japanese elderly get killed by their family member in a decade " and " in every 8 days one elderly person get killed by their own family in a decade " 😂😂" Journalism "😂😂 This news came right when Japan was planning to export Patriot missiles to USA, who will send them to Ukraine. And considering this media house is partly owned by a Russian company. Is it a coincidence ?

[@joevarga5982]

Don't believe everything you hear on KZbin. This is BS.

[@TeaCup1940]

Why do those people not able to care for their elderly parents or family members not take them to a retirement home? Is it because that would be too expensive? I think there should be more affordable and accessible retirement homes and if it is due to shame or socially not acceptable, the government could try to promote the idea. It would be much better than to murder the elderly and then commit suicide. Caregiver fatigue is a serious issue and the government should start to try and find viable and affordable solutions for that.

I work in healthcare in the USA and I've seen the opposite: family will go to extreme measures to keep a terminally ill elderly patient "alive". This patient is often bedridden, mentally checked out, incapable of feeding himself/herself, incapable of controlling his/her bowels, etc. In some cases, it is better to allow nature to take it's course and let people die with dignity. However this decision should be made by the patient in advance rather than having someone make the decision for them.

Mind you about 40 percent of 120 million Japanese are above 60. That is literally better than 98 percent of the countries in the world.

[@Quibblet]

This brings back memories of my time in elementary school (I think it was 5th grade) where I read a short story in one of the Houghton Mifflin literature collection books. The story was about a Japanese man and his elderly mom. He was ordered by the village leader to take her up to the mountains and let her die there. But he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he brought her back and hid her in a secret room of his hut. When the villagers ran into alot of problems, the man looked to the advice and wisdom of his mother to solve them. When she was able to deter an attack from another village lord, the people praised her for her life-long experiences and feedback on remedies. It was a happy ending, but it made me sad that they would resort to such a shameful action.

This will mean training more people in care of the elderly, development of better technology for that care, careful monitoring of patients’ quality of life, and possibly considering euthanasia when the quality of life is gone.

I don’t think that can be true. It is a natural thing to want to care for parents and also it should come from your heart. Or even if you only feel it is your obligation to at least do it with kindness and compassion. There are kind and compassionate people in every culture and nation. The problem is our modern society , most people don’t live the way we ought to live in small caring communities with extended families.

My Mom became senile at 92 and more so until she passed away at 101. Her care was a family group effort. I would get up in the morning, take my two grandchildren to daycare. While I did that their mother would get my Mom dressed and I would take her to Elder daycare. My grand children called it Grandmas “Daycare”. She loved it there and it gave a break for me. It was private ran by a couple in rented space at a church. They had 12 clients. Until we did that she would “run away” down the street. LOL. I think she was just bored because once she started daycare she never did that again. I would pick the grandkids up from their daycare and pick her up on the way back. She would spend a weekend or two with my other daughter. My son-in-law chipped in and helped when needed. I can see where just one person to care for a dementia person would be overwhelming. Mon lived to be 101. We had no regrets.

I am a retired CNA/HHA, this is a healthcare field that is growing. There are free training classes and you get certification and hired. Many of these seniors and unwell clients have no family members either. Not enough staff to care for them. People are not signing up for the classes so many facilities are short staffed. And yes, there's also neglect in the facilities. Thanks for the informative video. Maybe people will be more aware and try to help.

[@beccabbea2511]

One of the biggest problems is lack of training. I worked for an organisation, in England that had care facilities in over twenty different countries, and they cared for adults with learning disabilities, whatever the age. We were all trained exceptionally well by our employers, who were a bye word for good care and excellent training. Unfortunately you can't teach empathy and patience that comes from within. We also understood that the caring community/homes etc are the Cinderellas of care work. They are the places that get the least funding. The local council wanted places for people in need but wanted to pay as little as possible. No matter where a person is cared for it takes time, love, patience, empathy and money and oft times all of these are in short supply often due to staff shortages and lack of funding. The sad thing is this will probably get worse and Japan is not the first country I have heard doing this there is another one much closer to home.

[@joycejean-baptiste4355]

[@Shineynsparkles]

No body wants that job at all

[@app103]

Part of the reason why so many facilities are short staffed, is because they are not hiring. They are more concerned with profits than care, and hiring more people cuts into profits. They will be the first to shell out the bucks to buy robots to provide the care, when they become available, and only the minimum number they need in order to provide a minimum of care. In other words, when robots can do a human's job, they will still be short staffed, with overworked robots, rather than overworked humans.

When quality of life is no longer there, why shouldn’t this be an option. It would release the person suffering from illness or old age or both from just existing and give back the life of the people that are tasked with their care. These types of situations could go on for years with the person lingering and it will take a physical and emotional toll on those caring for them!

My heart goes for the Japanese elderly . Japan should open their caregiver industry to foreign work. This is more of a cultural openness issue than a financial one. I don't mean to sound opportunistic but the Philippines can help the Japanese elderly in this regard. The Filipinos are known for caring for the elderly.And It doesn't have to be expensive. The language barrier issue can be solved by the help of digital technology. There's google translate and other AI language translation platforms. The most important thing is the physical and emotional caring which the Filipinos excel at. The Philippine government can also send thousands of caregivers at the Philippines' expense as a sign of goodwill. Let this be a gesture of love and support for Japan. The Philippine government should explore the possibility of giving free services to Japan and pay the Filipino workers at Philippine standard rate,with maybe food and lodging at the Japanese government's expense.

We were taking care of our four grandchildren from the day they were born, they even called and loved him like a daddy, the 2 baby girls especially. He died in 2022. The boys are 17 and 14 and the girls are 13 and 10. When he died my mother who is 79 had fallen and then when released from the hospital could not live alone anymore so she moved in with me and the kids. It is very hard. My daughter who took off and went west for many, many years is back and making things worse. My dad had fallen also and hit his head and died a month later 2023. My cousin died in march 2020, my aunt april 2020 and my baby sister may 2020. I know we all get older and death is a part of life and my oldest son know that iam not going to be a burden to no one. We already have plans if anything debilitating happens to me. I will not be kept alive on a damn machine, nor will i move in with my children. There should be a law to die with dignity, where when you get to a certain age or cant function properly, dimentia, paralyzed or just ready to leave this world, that drs could give you a shot and let you die. I know iam not going to suffer anymore or be a burden. I have to stay around for at least another 8 to 10 years if i can, to make sure the grandchildren finiah school and are headed in the right direction to be happy in life.
