Counterview on We do not require old age homes
Answers
The people who are old now once were young. They were the parents of children for whom they worked day and night. Is it not morally unethical to abandon these parents when they become old? Only a callous man, devoid of a sense of responsibility will send his/her parents to old age home.
Our parents are our roots that support us at the base underground; though they are hidden underground, our existence without them is impossible. Aged people are always an asset to the family, especially the families where both parents work. The aged look after the families so well. The grandparents provide a very healthy environment for the all-round growth and development of children. They never leave the children alone and unprotected.
They are not even any burden on in terms of finances as the Government has started many welfare schemes for the aged such as old age pension, medical care benefits, etc.
We require old age homes:
Due to the drastic increase in the population and increased cost of living, the persons cannot maintain the balance between work and family. The earnings are usually very low when compared to the expenses. So we require old age homes which are assisted by the government.
The people who are young today will become older some day.
So we should take care of our parents when we are young.
Since the expenses are drastically increasing, the caring of the old age people is not possible now a days.
