Explanation:
Many people have seemingly logical reason for leaving their old mothers, fathers and relatives in a home. They say that they lead busy lives, their careers expect them to travel and they come back very late at night. They don"t have time to take care of an old person"s needs and he will be better off somewhere where help will be constantly available. However, they don"t realise that their old parents will be more than happy to wait for them to come back, or live alone in their absence. The argument that there is no one to take care of them is not worthy enough to place the elderly in a home.
If you visit old age homes chances are that many of the residents will tell you about how they don"t like their lives there and want to go back. They will talk about their lives as youngsters and tell you about their children and their work. Ask them if their children come to visit and they will tell you stories of how busy they are and how much work they have. Ask them if they stay far away or in another city, chances are they don"t. Not only do some people put their parents in an old age home, they don"t bother to visit them regularly citing work and social pressure. They easily forget that their parents juggled careers and different kinds of pressures to bring them up and make them what they are today.
1. Old age is not restricted to today's elders. Even the present students will be old aged in a few decades. So it is needed to protect our own future and avoid banishing elders to old age homes.
2. Not old-age homes but real homes where young-middle and old age people live together are to be the place for happiness to each person.
3. We do not have young age homes or middle age homes for that particular age group. Then why should we have only old-age homes for the elderly?
4. Old-age homes are the symbols of today's consumerism when things are taken in a 'use and throw' fashion.
5. While we press for re-cycling and re-use of inanimate objects , to save this world from accumulation of waste, why can't we re-cycle or re-use the elders using their experience and expertise for the benefit of younger age and whole world.
6. Instead of banishing elders to old age homes, let the society use them for teaching values and peaceful existence.
7.Any one entering a job should give undertaking that he/she wll look after the parents well in their old age and not abandon them. If it is found or parents complain that they are abandoned, then the employee should be punished suitably and made to take care of the elder parents.
8. We should think about punishment for using word 'old-age home'. For the sake of those who do no have children or immediate relatives to take care, government should build 'affection and care homes' and take their care. That should be one of the important welfare measure.
Let us say NO to old-age homes , but say home-our sweet home for old and young.
