These centres should be well equipped and specious with all facilities for reading, crafts and hobbies, recreational facility like radio, television, indoor and outdoor games with sufficient interested volunteers to serve the old people. In short these homes or centres should help the older individual to spend his time usefully and constructively in order to achieve happiness and avoid any in inconvenience to the family and community.
