Old Age Care In India
Sabri Helpage
Growing old is not easy and over the last
few years are collecting funds to open an
Old Age Home "Sukhinah". Many families
are slow to discuss ageing issues such as
the need for professional care or home
repairs that will keep the home safe.
Many people do not
plan for their senior
years and more often
than not our phone
rings for help when
there is an
emergency. Very
rarely do adult
children and their
older parents plan
and make the
necessary
adjustments needed
to enjoy their senior
years.
Adult children are worried about their
parents and keeping them safe at home.
They feel like they should be able to
provide for their parent's needs without
professional assistance. On the other
hand, older parents aren't always
receptive to what their adult children have
to say and can be resistant to care options
outside of the family, despite the fact they
want to stay at home.
With the insight, we developed our
mission statement: "To enhance the lives
of older people, enabling them to live
happy, healthy and independent lives
in their homes for longer than otherwise
possible".
