There are lots of things to say against for the old age home but there are advantages also.
Let me discuss the things which is against the old age home ;
Cost issue- Mostly in case of elder people, they either get pensions or they get money from their children. So, they don’t have a lot of money and must spend on buying medicines.
Limited choice – There is limited choice in an old age home, small living space and limited choice in food menu.
Lack of Privacy Seriously- Living in an old age home may give your loved elderly emotional problems, like missing their relatives, children and grand children.Elders don’t feel like leaving their ancestral house. So, they avoid living in an old age home.
The person who has been put into an old age home would (naturally) be very sad. This is quite justified since they are (usually) leaving the only home they have known for years -- including all the memories.
Most of the people who are put into the old age home, start developing a fear that rises from the thought that moving into an old age home is the final step before death. This is usually true since once there, they usually do not return to their own home.
Loneliness is a enduring problem with many. For some visits from their loved ones are few and far in-between.
Once in a old age home, they tend to lose their independence. This in itself gives the feeling that their life is over. Along with loss of independence, they lose their self-esteem too. Now, anything they do is part of a planned activity.
In case they are religious, they can no longer go and pray to a place of worship of their choice; but instead attend the service provided by the retirement home.
.. There are favours also that we can't avoid;
A stress free life- Doing daily works at home becomes very challenging for an elderly. In an old age home, the association helps with the daily and give elders a stress free life.
Scheduled doctors and emergency services- Since old age homes are for seniors, doctors and 24x7 emergency services will be available.
Security- Safety is definitely an issue for senior citizens. Therefore, living in an old age home gives them protection and safety because of steady security.

Better living condition- In an old age home, the living condition will be better because all time medical care, safety, clean and especially constant companionship.
