Care For The Elder Individuals

Background of the Study:

The growing incidence of elder abuse and severe fissures in the multi-generational family or household has forced many elder persons to abandon their family home; some of them have also been “pushed out” and have thus been left shelter-less. Most urban areas appear to have growing incidence of cases of abandoned elderly. A new culture of “peer group participation” attempted by the aged persons appears to be taking roots in many parts of the world. Old Age Homes of various types are rapidly becoming a choice for many “abandoned”, “left out” or “neglected” old persons with or without survival resources. The vision of “alternate shelter” for older persons, as enunciated in both national and comprehensive policy frameworks, includes Group housing for older persons, No physical barriers to mobility, Health care and nutritional support, Development of age-integrated communities, Recreation services, Age-friendly, easy and safe accessibility to shopping complexes, community centres, parks and other services, and Provision of ramps indoor Lifts in vertical housing complexes.
