A visit to an old-age home is a life-changing experience as it is filled with emotions and sentiments. I had an opportunity to visit an old-age home as my cousin was a volunteer for a local NGO and it was on the occasion of The International Day of Service.
Description of the Old-Age Home:
The old-age home was situated in the outskirts of the city and was close to the national highway. It was a two-storey building with a garden out in the front and a small temple just on its east boundary. The walls of the home were old and the paint had worn off. It looked like the house was without maintenance for years together. There was an elderly lady who was peeking through the window on the first floor when we opened the gate.
Meeting the Residents:
When we entered the home, we were taken by surprise as there was more number of people than we had imagined. There was a common room where elderly men and women ranging from the ages of 60 till late 80s were seen. Some of them were indulged in watching the television, some were sipping tea and chatting, some ladies were busy knitting and others were staring at us. We had brought with us food and blankets which we distributed amongst the members. They were ecstatic to have food from outside. We segregated ourselves and went to talk individually to everyone.
