For：

Parents can achieve more care it save time for young couples who go to work all day without energy to look after their parents it proves unemployed man to go to work as caregivers. What our parents need is not to have a comfortable environment. They just want to have a chat with you; they just want to exchange ideas with you; they just want to be with you…No matter how hard the life is! Since it is a society with a high speed, we may have so much time to take care of parents well enough. So it is a good choice to send our parents there to have the worker look after them. They may feel comforted to help relieve their children’s stress. And we should show respect for their choice. The family is becoming smaller and smaller, which means the couple should take care of four parents and a child, and that is a big burden for the young generations. At the nursing home, the old may find a lot of things in common with the people there, and they can share their feelings. And it doesn’t mean that we desert them, we can often visit them and comfort them Aged parents will fell lonely if they stay at home by themselves. However, at the nursing homes, they will have many companions to talk with and to play with.. Some aged parents are in bad health, but their children are busy with their work..

Against：

1. Cause our parents have done a lot for us when we were still young, and now when we are grown up and have the ability to earn some money , we should try our best to do something for them and let them to live as they like ,enjoy some happy moments before their deaths.

2. I think most aged people don't like the nursing home ,what they need at this time is not good food ,good nursing ,but love and care from their sons and daughters who they put their whole hopes on. We should give them love and look after them, as they did to us when we were young. What’s more, China is a country respect aged parents, we should follow the society's virtue. Young people leave elders alone in nursing homes elderly may have the feeling of being abandoned. I think it is totally wrong to send our parents to the nursing home. Our parents spared no efforts to bring us up, now when they become old; it is our duty to care for them, instead of sending them away.

3. We should not only provide our parents with economic resources, but also we should give them spiritual comfort. And this is the most important since elder peopleare very much afraid of loneliness.

4. Now the environment of the nursing home is not that satisfactory. It may be very dirty, noisy and unorderly in the old peo ple’s house. And the food there might be very bad, not to mention having balanced diets.

5. In the nursing home, there are nearly no young people. Even the workers there are a little old. There is no vigor at all.

6. The ability to adapt to the strange environment is weak. Maybe they have adapted to the familiar family and neighborhood. And they are not willing to change.
