Abstract

The retirement home is a home that acts as the second home for the elderly people. By the time a person reaches a certain age of retirement, it becomes necessary for him or her to reside at a place which is comforting and provides good care of them as one becomes most sensitive at this stage. This is the stage where one requires complete independence and due care to live a happy life in the ending. However, this becomes difficult as the old age people get alone as their children leave for studies and stuff, thus, leaving old age people alone. Retirement home at this stage plays an important part for the old age people to take care of them. An interview was conducted to see whether old people felt comfortable with the old age home or not. However, whether some of the old age people liked living in the retirement home or not depends upon the theoretical approach adopted.
