Old age home may be defined as “A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens”. It is sometimes called an old men’s home or Retirement home. Old age home is the aged men’s unfortunate and unexpected destination despite delivering all fortunes and expectation of their beloved son or daughter. Old age Home is the very good success formula of today’s nuclear family believer and killer results of old aged sentiments. The young generation frankly decides for exclusion of old aged methodology of joint family and advocates of old age home. Young generation feels old age people a burden. It is because the traditional values and sociability have been changed drastically in today’s time. The old age group is now feeling this embarrassing blow. The aged people are spending their twilight years in isolation , pain and misery. All these collectively are responsible for old age home concept.
If it is discussed then many will raise hand in favour of this system. It is because the old age homes are increasing whole around the world. That means more and more people are getting detached from their parents. The trends are shifting from joint family to nuclear family concept at larger scale. The new generation assimilating their parents as a barrier in this competitive world. The today’s system are arguing that the two age bands can not grow together. But still many people are attached to the old values and sociability and are also against the old age home and disqualifying the separation from their parents.
I conclude that the becoming older and existence of younger one is cyclic biological process. No one can get rid of these two state of life. Old age people needs care, love and healthy emotional family sharing for satisfaction. New one needs growth and success in today’s competitive world. These two objectives are to be strategically balanced. The parents is to be given high priority over everything. They should be included in the family running process so that they could feel themselves not ignored.
