Is old age home a fact of life?
There have been several changes in recent times that have had an
impact on society in numerous fields be it societal, financial and personal.
Changes in lifestyles, some for the better and a few with negative
consequences. However, senior citizens face certain problems as a result of
social transformation. This is reflected in the transition from the traditional
ways of life to modern patterns, which require many compromises and
adjustments. Hence old age
home is the ultimate solutions for the
elders. According to me, Sumukha is one of the best old age
home near me.
There was the much-acclaimed joint family or extended family
system wherein the elders lived with not only their children but also with
their brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts in nearby houses, mostly in villages or
in small towns. Everyone was very close at hand for any emergencies such as any
health issues or deaths. This enabled the older people to lead a reasonably
happy life without any tension, as they had the confidence that someone would
take care of them when needed.
