Old people in Daycare

Introduction

When discussing individuals and people who are in the old age bracket, there are several problems and issues that people face while being in that position. The paper covers facilities and entities that provide day-care facility and how it works to maintain the health conditions of old and the aged.

Cultural, Historical and Personal Perspectives

Old people are generally considered burden upon their relatives, their immediate family members or even their own children. In the East, usually in a full nest, old people serve as the root of keeping the entire family together; it is believed that the old age people in families, especially grandparents, provide a great deal of appreciation, experience, knowledge and inspiration for all other members of the family to look upto them.

In the Asian peninsula, especially the Islamic version, many households, domiciles and vicinities look forward and aim towards the upbringing and grooming of their children under the influence of grandparents. Those families who are headed by old folks have a stronger footing in their environment and surrounding and at the same time look for love and affection from grandparents and aged relatives. According to holy scripts and text, a person in an Islamic based surrounding and environment is obliged to pay his highest respect to parents who have turned old or even grandparents who may be alive and living with family. If they do not follow, they shall be sinned.

But such things are not the same anymore; even in the Islamic region, there are lots of instances where people are sending their relatives and old grandparents to old homes for the purpose of simply being both upset and tired of family clashes, unable to take care of them or simply being indifferent to their needs.

On the other hand, in the West, sending old people to old homes and day care is a normal routine. Usually, when children have grown up and gotten married and that they cause problems amongst families members apparently, there are being sent to old ages homes for being taken care of by other people at the facility they are admitted to.
