The United States has been criticized for its treatment of its elderly citizens. Although in

many other countries the elderly usually live with their children’s family, many older

Americans live alone, without the close companionship of their children. This situation is

sometimes blamed on the “selfishness” of the younger generation but a closer look shows

that many of the elderly prefer to maintain their independent lives.

Research on the situation of the elderly in America has shown that while grandparents are

delighted to be visited periodically by their children and grandchildren, they prefer to

continue living in the surroundings that they are familiar with. This suggests that children

should permit their parents to live alone if they wish to, and should encourage them to

maintain close ties to the rest of the family.

Another surprising result of the research on the elderly in the United States has been the

very positive influence which pets have been found to have on the elderly people that

they live with. It has been shown that elderly people who care for small pets, such as cats

or dogs, live longer, are healthier, and have better attitudes towards their lives than

similar elderly people without these companions.
