The United States has been criticized for its treatment of elderly citizens. Although in many other countries the elderly usually live with their children’s family, many older Americans live alone, without the companionship of their children. This situation is sometimes blamed on the “selfishness” of the younger generation, but the 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 surrounding 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 toward their lives than similar elderly people without these companions.
