Old Age

Old Age Home is designed for parents who live alone, have no children, or have irresponsible or careless children. It provides shelter and food for old people. In India, this is a new concept and many children are adopting it by seeing the Western culture. Well, India is the place where big families believe in living together in a single home, but with an increase of modernization and busy schedules of the young generation, old age homes are significantly increasing. Nowadays, children are making excuses for not staying with their parents due to their urban lifestyle. Many people are adopting old age home solutions for their parents, as this is the place that takes care of them by providing them proper food, clothes, shelter and the time that they need at this age.

However, some children consider old age home as a good source for their parents to live with friends and enjoy their last breath or if they have to leave the country due to their job. But if we talk about a parent’s heart, they wish to live with their children instead of spending time with the unknown in an old age home. Well, it sounds a little harsh but the detachment of parents with their kids at the time when they need their children the most is heartbreaking. Since there is an increase in old age homes in India, children have forgotten the meaning of family, love, and care. When children live with their parents they often learn many things from their experiences. The essence of family is missing in old age homes which can lead to feeling lonely. The advantages of an old age home are that it is also known as a retirement home. Not just special friends and memories are found here, but also special care such as treatments by nurses and assistants are also provided under professional supervision. It also encourages senior citizens to pursue their hobbies and spend more time in nature. Thus, we can also say that old age homes help senior citizens to have a peaceful time after retirement. They are also given access to books from the library, entertainment facilities, yoga or fitness classes. The ambulances and health care department is 24×7 ready to attend to any patient, even in case of an emergency. However, it is always taught that children should understand the value of parents in their life and send them to old age homes only when there is no option left for them. They are the reason for our happiness and success. So, love them, respect them, and give them the care that they deserve. It’s not too late to make your parents happy. You should send them old age home but only for passing their time beautifully, not for giving up the responsibility of taking care of your parents.
