Answer:
Subject – Growing number of old age homes in metropolitan cities
Dear sir/Madam
Through the esteemed columns of your newspaper, I would like to express my concern over the growing number of old age homes in metropolitan cities. People have gradually begun to prefer to live in nuclear families. The fast-paced lifestyle in cities has left no time for members of the family to interact with each other, especially with the elderly.
It seems nowadays people are too busy to take care of the elderly. Most families have working couples who work long hours on hectic schedules. They have lost the convenience of working from home and don’t have time to spend with their families. The elderly tend to be physically weak. They may have ailments that need constant care. Not everyone can afford the cost of medicines, nurses and treatments so they are treated as a burden. Many families are unable to leave the house or go on vacation because they must care for the senior members. They see old age homes as a “way out”. They send away their parents and grandparents to these old age homes, not realizing the pivotal role they play in their lives.
There is so much one can learn through the vast experiences of the elderly. They try to inculcate good morals and teach us to be good people. They are there to guide us, care for us, provide invaluable support and unconditional love. The younger generation should be compassionate and realize the value that the elder members of the family have. They should take out time for the elderly – talk to them, learn from them and share a meal with them - because after all: “A family that eats together, stays together.”
