After retiring, 63-year-old Ma Shujie dedicated herself to caring for her 89-year-old mother-in-law, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. Over time, this physically and mentally demanding task left her experiencing unprecedented levels of stress.
Seeking relief, Ms. Ma decided to enroll her mother-in-law in a community care center and nursing home just around the corner from her home. This decision ensured her mother-in-law could receive professional care while Ms. Ma could finally enjoy her well-deserved retirement.
“Knowing she’s in good hands gives me peace of mind,” Ms. Ma shared. “I can focus on my own health and still visit her whenever I want.”
Community care centers are becoming a lifeline for families facing the challenges of elderly care. They offer professional services that alleviate the burden on family members, allowing them to balance personal life and caregiving responsibilities.
As more families like Ms. Ma’s embrace the support of community care centers, there’s a growing sense of optimism about the future of elderly care, promising better quality of life for both the elderly and their caregivers.
