Yebo, iningi labanakekeli bomndeni lingabesifazane abaneminyaka ephakathi nendawo abasiza umzali omdala kodwa izibalo zibonisa kuphela ingxenye yendaba. Amadoda, abashadile abashadile, kanye neMillennials baya phezulu ukuze basize ngokunakekelwa. Ukunakekelwa kwemindeni yomndeni kungashintsha kodwa izidingo zabo eziyisisekelo azikho.
Abanakekeli bomndeni-kanye nabanakekeli abanomsebenzi- nabo bangabantu futhi bangase baphile kahle ngaphansi kweminyaka yobudala bomnakekeli womndeni, oneminyaka engu-45 ubudala, noma bangase babe neminyaka engaphezu kwengu-65 ubudala.
I-National Alliance for Caregiving kanye ne-AARP yathola ukuthi amaphesenti angama-25 ekhulwini labanikazi bemizi elinganiselwa ku-43.5 aneminyaka engama-18 no-34 ubudala, okuyizigidi eziyishumi eziqinile.
Leli qembu lingabesifazane abayingxenye nabesigamu. Ucwaningo olwenziwe yi-Homewatch CareGivers lithole ukuthi abantwana abangama-56% abenza izinqumo zokunakekelwa baneminyaka engaphansi kweminyaka engu-45 kanti abangu-74% bangaphansi kweminyaka engu-55 ubudala.
Zonke izinhlobo zemindeni yokunakekelwa
Abanakekeli bezinkulungwane zeminyaka kungenzeka ukuthi baye bayeka ikholeji, babuyela ekhaya, futhi ngezindlela eziningi bashintsha izindlela zabo zokuphila ukuze banikeze ukunakekelwa okungakhokhiwe kumalungu omndeni adinga usizo ngemisebenzi yansuku zonke. Noma kunjalo, bebengase bakhulise izingane, bafunde ama-degree angama-usiku futhi baqhubeke bemukela imithwalo yabo yokunakekelwa .
UChristina M. Fletcher wabuyela ekhaya eneminyaka engu-27 ukuze anakekele abazali bakhe bobabili ngemuva kwezinhlekelele eziningana eziholela ekudingeni usizo lwakhe. Ngemva kokufa kukadadewabo kaNksz Fletcher, unina-owayephila ne-atherosclerosis kanye ne-arthritis-"wayenqamukile" futhi ubaba wakhe waba nesifo senhliziyo enkulu emshiya engenakukhubazeka.
"Kwakungeyona into elula noma isinyathelo esilula ukubuyela e-Ohio," kusho uNksz Fletcher ngokushiya esikoleni, emsebenzini, nokuhambisa indodakazi yakhe encane eWisconsin.
Ngenkathi uNksz Fletcher nomndeni wakhe bonke bevumelanisiwe ukwamukela ukunakekelwa nokunikeza ukunakekelwa, abanye abantu asebekhulile bahlala nokukhathalela impilo yabo yonke futhi babenza njengoba bekhula.
U-Rashelle Quinn, umfundi ongumhlengikazi oneminyaka engu-22 ubudala, wayeneminyaka engu-3 nje kuphela lapho uyise ehlushwa yile ngozi engozini.
" Ukuba ngumnakekeli akuzange kushintshe kakhulu izinhlelo zami zokuphila njengoba kudala izinhlelo zami zokuphila," kusho uNksz Quinn.
Futhi sikhulume nabanye abaye bahamba ukuze banakekele ugogo nomkhulu lapho bebona ukuthi bengashadile noma babe nezingane okwamanje benza ukuba bangenele ukuba abe ngumnakekeli womndeni kunogogo nomkhulu. U-Erin Pratt, oneminyaka engu-30 ubudala, uya esikoleni futhi uyamsiza ugogo wakhe oneminyaka engu-95 ngokuhlinzeka ngokuhamba ngezinyawo ukuze aye esitolo noma afike endaweni yokuqokwa kukadokotela.
"Kuyangisiza ukuba ngikhumbule ukuhlala ngilinganisela empilweni ngesevisi nokuphuma ngaphandle kwezwe lami elincane," kusho uNksz Pratt ngokunakekela ugogo wakhe.
Ezinye Izinto Azikaze Zishintshe
Naphezu kweminyaka yobudala kanye nomthwalo wemfanelo wokuphila phakathi komnakekeli ojwayelekile kanye nabanakekeli abaneminyaka eyizinkulungwane, bonke abanakekeli bomndeni basadingeka bakhumbule ukuzikhathalela. Ucwaningo lwe-NAC / AARP lithole ukuthi u-38% wabanakekeli bomndeni bathola isimo sabo "sokucindezeleka ngokomzwelo" kanye no-19% wokuhlangenwe nakho komzimba ekuhlinzekeni ukunakekelwa. Nakuba amaphesenti abantu abazwa ukucindezeleka ngenxa yokunakekelwa ngokweqile kuncike kubani abanikeza ukunakekelwa kanye nenani lamahora ngesonto, iqiniso liwukuthi lingabangela ukucindezeleka futhi liholele ezinkingeni zezempilo nezomzwelo kulaba abanakekeli.
Kukhona futhi ukucindezeleka kwezezimali njengoba abantu behlehlisa isikhathi sokusebenza ukuze bakwazi ukuhlinzeka ukunakekelwa kumalungu omndeni wabo.
UNksz Fletcher uthe uthola impilo yakhe ematasa ukuphazamiseka okumnandi ngenxa yokukhathazeka kakhulu ngokunakekelwa, kodwa ngezinye izikhathi udidliza ngokuxoxa nabangani noma ukubukela amavidiyo amahle ku-intanethi. Lapho ehlangana nabangani abaphethe izindima zokunakekelwa, uthi izinto zokugcina abafuna ukuzenza zigxila ezindabeni zabo njengabanakekeli. UNksz Quinn uthe uthembele emndenini uma ezwa isidingo sokuzinakekela yena.
Abanakekeli babo bonke ubudala badinga ukuzikhathalela futhi bangabi yedwa ekuxhumaneni nomphakathi, amahlaya nenjabulo.
Ochwepheshe batusa ukuthi umnakekeli womndeni uthole iqembu lokusekela noma athole ukunakekelwa kwempilo-kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungumnakekeli oqeqeshiwe oqashiwe noma elinye ilungu lomndeni-njalo ukuze bangashintshi bese bebeka impilo yabo nenhlalakahle engozini.
Njengoba abantu bephila isikhathi eside futhi izifo ezinzima njengokunyuka kwe-Alzheimer, kunesidingo esikhulu sokunakekelwa-kokubili komndeni kanye nochwepheshe. Ngezinye izikhathi lokhu kungaba ngabazukulu ukunakekela ugogo nomkhulu noma izingane ezincane ezindala ezikhathalela umzali osekhulile. Abanakekeli abayizinkulungwane zeminyaka akuyona nje umkhuba wesikhashana, kodwa yingxenye yendlela entsha yokuphila lapho abantu abaningi abadinga ukunakekelwa njengoba bekhula. Isiqephu esithakazelisayo salokhu ukuthi abanakekeli beMillennial bahlukaniswa ngokulinganayo phakathi kwabantu abesilisa nabesilisa nabesilisa abamukela indima yokunakekela. Lokhu kukhuthaza futhi yisibonelo esihle kuwo wonke umuntu.
