THE OLD AGE HOME SERVICE WHICH IS
ALSO HELPFUL FOR THE SINGLE AND INDIPENDENT PEOPLE
The scenario changed gradually and steadily with the decline of
the joint family system, which was replaced by the nuclear family system. While
the younger generation had no difficulty in moving out of the house and
adjusting themselves to new environs and getting adapted to new ways of life,
it is the elderly group that found the change to be a hardship. They found the
going tough with attached sentiments, comforts and property holdings.
Elders that consist of both men and women who remained single
without getting married invariably landed in old age home. While many have
accepted the change, others are unable to adjust to the conditions and new
environment. But some are unable to travel owing to health reasons such as
immobility or other personal reasons go in search of old age home. Thus old age
home was born to help mainly the non-resident Indians (NRIs), to relieve them
of the tension of leaving behind parents under the care of someone outside the
family system.
