Question

why should old age homes be encouraged

Answer 1

Old age home does not fit exactly in the Indian scenario since most of aging people in our country are deeply attached to their near and dear one's and even if such an arrangement is made by their well wishers, they may not like it. Also, the old age home in our countries are in the nascent state operating from the major cities. The charges for such accommodation are sorbitant and hence it may not suit all the senior citizens because of their financial constraints. Old age homes are not suitable in Indian culture. Indian parents and grand parents are closely associated with their near and dear. Indian children are also associated in the same way with their parents and grand parents.
Another drawback of old age home is that it is available in major cities only. Old age homes are very costly. Every Indian citizen can not afford it. In India this decease is growing at very slow rate. It is our moral responsibility to subside this problem at any cost. If this is not checked, it will ruin our culture and society. It is the beauty of Indian society the people of all age group and with different relation live together very happily. We learn so many things in our life from our parents and grand parents.Good culture is inherited from one generation to other generation. So we should oppose the concept of old age home...
