Why are old people sent to old age home?
Not only are old people sent, many old people are willingly going to such homes. The reasons are many…
Children send them because..
To avoid responsibility of caring for a terminally sick parent who needs nurse care (will a mother send her terminally child away?)
They go abroad because of jobs, transfers and better prospects, for children 's future and better life
To avoid constant clash of views of the old and the younger generations
To live comfortably in nuclear families
To have freedom of movement, travel and other enjoyments
Parents are never welcome in nuclear houses. Those who live in their ancestral or parents’ house tolerate them to a certain extent
Selfishness rules everything, there is no love respect, tolerance, empathy towards elders
——-
Why do parents go away by themselves to old age homes?
They are independent
They are tired of running the houses once again after retirement
They want simpler life without any tension, with like minded people
Enjoy meditation, hostel like on time food, group games, humour club, 24 hrs doc, library and good friendship in old age homes.
They let /encourage children to go abroad for their better lives, more salary, social prestige (but personal sorrow)
They have illness and do not want to trouble children with health care issues
They are tired of additional responsibility as both son and dil are working longer hours. Their age doesn't cooperate with them for an energetic taking care of house, servants and grandchildren.
Tired of daily routine of cooking, monthly routine of bill payments etc

If health is good everything is fine. But even in Homes your parents may get ill-treated by the Home care staff. They may get killed for easy access to the one time non refundable fund deposited in the retirement homes.
Even in the best of Oldage Homes and the most comfortable of Retirement homes., old fathers and mothers keep pondering when alone “where did I go wrong in bringing up my child?” “Do I deserve this?”
Think about it! Can we send away someone we love to be in others care. Would your parents do that to you suppose you were mentally or physically disabled? Think about it. Nothing is worse in life than knowing we have a family which doesn't care whether we are dead or alive. Actually many parents die the very day they are sent away or by themselves go away to old age homes!! Quiet SAD.
