ABOUT OLD-AGE HOME: Old age refers to ages nearing or surpassing the life
expectancy of human beings, and is thus the end of the human life cycle. Terms and
euphemisms include old people, the elderly (worldwide usage), seniors (American
usage), senior citizens (British and American usages), older adults (in the social
sciences[1]), and the elders (in many cultures—including the cultures of aboriginal people).
Old people often have limited regenerative abilities and are more susceptible to disease,
syndromes, injuries and sickness than younger adults. The organic process of ageing is
called senescence,[2] the medical study of the aging process is called gerontology,[3] and the
study of diseases that afflict the elderly is called geriatrics.[4] The elderly also face other
social issues around retirement, loneliness, and ageism.[5]
An old parent staying in an old age home is a common enough phenomenon. But is it
desirable? Most elderly people cannot reconcile themselves to the idea of living in old
age homes. We, their children, want them to live happily, in peace and preferably in the
one place where they have always lived – their own homes. But this is the digital age.
Aged parents are often left alone while their children go abroad to live and work. So,
the next logical step is to put an old father or mother in an old age home. While there is
nothing fundamentally wrong with staying in an old age home, it does offend
sensibilities .

decades, due to availability of better medical facilities, improved health consciousness and increase
in standard of living of the people. The percentage of aged persons has been steadily increasing. The
old parents are not able to live with their children because of several reasons. There is, therefore, a
huge demand for Old Age Homes where the elder citizens can live peacefully and safely for their life
time . Instead of living independently and separately in houses without any safety and care, the

Ageing is an irreversible biological process and may best be defined as the survival of a growing
number of people who have completed the adult roles. For census purposes, a cut off age of 60
years is taken for classifying people as aged in India. Ageing is an inevitable consequence of fertility
decline. With the gradual fall of mortality rate, awareness, better nutrition, advancement in health
technology and the increase in life expectancy, the number of elderly both relative and absolute, are
increasing all over the world. The problem of ageing has been recognized as a major social problem
by sociologists all over the world. According to Desai and Naik a large number of people in a group
are required to face the problem and are not able to solve it and so have to suffer and therefore
becoming problematic to society. During old age, many seniors undergo difficult transitions in their
lives such as retirement, financial problems, declining health, the death of spouses, partners and
friends that can strain their social network. This strain is particularly worrisome because it occurs at
a time when the aged most urgently need the social support-to help them recognize emerging
problems, provide immediate care, and /or facilitate help from out side sources. Societal
developments influence the social structures as well as the social environment in general, and
especially the exchange of social support between family members, friends and neighbours. Present
world is strongly impacted by globalization, individualization and rationalization. All the three are
precursors of social isolation and loneliness. Globalization has led to a remarkable expansion of the
social space in which people live thus weakening the personal network and social support. Due to
individualization, the traditional, meaningful integration frameworks have dissolved and people are
239 less able to fall back on social bonds like family and neighbourhood. Social culture is also
transformed because of rationalization which leads to a planned life style in which efficiency rules. In
order to ensure that the elderly continue to flourish, it is important to identify and combat the
unique characteristics that result in socio-economic problems, social integration in family, financial
problems, loneliness, problems in performing daily chores, feelings of irritation, health problems,
adjustment in the family, lack of involvement in decision making process in the family. All this bring
us to the conclusion that since ageing is a normal process, we not only can equip ourselves to cope
with it, when it comes but can also enjoy the opportunities and challenges it presents. The findings
of this study may help the government and private agencies to tackle the problem of all kinds and
made ageing a more charming choice and healthy routine. Hence, the present study is an attempt
made in this direction with the specific objective: To find out the types and extent of problems faced
by old people.
Therefore, the total cost of the following project including all the expenses mentioned above is
approx. 4crore 50 lakhs rupees. The following project based on Old Age home is designed in such a
manner that we have kept all sorts of facilities and luxuries required by an aged person to live.
Therefore the overall expense of the project as per mentioned includes all those facilities mentioned
above.
