Infancy, as well as old age, are, mostly referred to as the most delicate stage of human life. They need most of the care and affection. They are physically, emotionally and mentally weak at this age. Thus, the children need to take care of the parents in their old age. But it is a matter of immense grief that nowadays, the children have become insensitive to this duty and are escaping from it.
Thus, they are leaving their parents in the old age home to run away from their obligations. In the old age homes, the older people stay together and are cared for by the old age home staff. They take care of their food, shelter, clothing and medical assistance. There should be no old age homes in any part of the world. Let all the care and affection come from the family itself, which they had once served.
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.
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.
A roof over their heads is a critical need of the elder who are destitute, sick and abandoned by family and those uprooted by disasters. Sanjukta Social Welfare Organisation has established good connection with oldage homes in Bhubaneswar and Odisha. This year we are planning to support and adopt 100 old age people.
Old Age homes are civilization's dumpsites for human beings who it cannot exploit further.
