Today I am anxious to see the advancement of Old Age Homes across India. 

People who have crossed their age at 60 are described as senior citizens, elderly and aged. Why Old Age Homes? Once, We lived unitedly as a Joint Family beneath one roof with completely different blood relatives – father, mother, grandma, grandpa, uncle, aunty, grandchildren and lots of a lot of, But currently living a pathetic lifetime of loneliness.

Like today the joint family system is faded and every old age people are being separated from their family. This makes them mentally disturbed and their heart flows with tears. So that Old age kings and queens need some changes in their lives and they should not feel that they are lonely.

Every young man and woman wants to live an independent life even after their marriage, So that they cannot take care of their parents because of their selfishness. So why only young people send their parents out of their homes and make them join in an Old Age home.
