Old Age Home in Chennai

In India, around 2/3rd of the population is below or close to 30, so does talking about old age homes problems (which exist) sound awkward?

Consider this, out of every 10 elderly couples in Chennai, India, more than 6 are forced by their children to leave their homes to Old Age Home. With no place to go and all hopes lost, the elderly have to resort to old age homes, which do not guarantee first class treatment. In India, unlike USA, parents do not leave their children on their own after they turn 18 (of course there are exceptions), but children find it hard to accept the fact that there are times when parents want to feel the love that they once shared with them. There are times when parents just want to relax and want their children to reciprocate their care. Every parents wants to see their child grow and be successful but no parent wants their child to treat them like an unnecessary load on their responsibilities.

Every other day, we see news of parents being beaten up by their children, parents and in laws being forced to do the house hold chores, being made to live in small dungeon like rooms, their property being forcefully taken over by over ambitious children.

After a certain age health problems begin to crop up leading to losing control over one’s body, even not recognizing own family owing to Alzheimer are common in old age. It is then children began to see their parents as burden. It is these parents who at times wander out of their homes or are thrown out. Some dump their old Age people or grandparents in old-age homes and don’t even come to visit them any more.

Forget the rights that the elderly enjoy in India. Just forget about the action that they can take. Think on moral grounds. Why do we tend to forget that the reason we are in this world is our parents, the reason we studied is our parents, the reason we were alive all this while is our parents, the reason we survived all the diseases is our mother’s care. The hands who made us walk is our parents’. When we were kids we never thought of it but we knew that no matter what, our parents will be by our side. But when our time came to show our respect, to reciprocate the love, to show our gratitude, we back out.

But the truth is that even when they are counting their last breath, they are still thinking of us!

Is the youth too insensitive to the elder? Passing comments at an old man walking slowly on the road and disturbing the flow of the traffic are our ethics? Come on youth, stand up against such injustice.

DO NOT TREAT YOUR PARENTS LIKE BURDEN ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY NEED YOU

Little Game For Happy Life!

Ask yourself "WHAT DO I REALLY WANT?".

Take a piece of paper, a pencil and an eraser. Jot down, from your mind, 10 things that you want from your life (things that will make you feel happy).



Just for example:

  1. Happiness and peace of mind
  2. Being loved and well-being
  3. Good health
  4. Lots of money
  5. Loving spouse/children and their happiness
  6. Power and position in job/profession
  7. Nice house
  8. Lovely holidays
  9. Good education
  10. Good workplace


Now check again and decide priority. If you think No. 5 (Spouse etc.) can be ignored for No. 4 (Lots of money), rethink and finalize accordingly.

Happiness emerges from clarity, not confusion.

Do elderly people need better facilities only at the old age home?


          Many people think that the success of an old age home depends on the facilities and comforts it extends to the people who live there. Yes, they are important indeed, but there is something else that makes a place comfy, cozy and ideal to live. 

      Love, affection, and care are the important aspects that differentiate a good place from the average or bad ones. A team that looks after the elderly people well, talks to them, hears their troubles and extends the best possible support is the basic building block of an excellent old age home.

Experts believe that following aspects make an old age home the best place to live:

  • In the Old Age Homes the support staff is so affectionate and lovable that senior citizens don’t hesitate in sharing their feelings, joys, and sorrows. Even if the problems remain unsolved, there is a bond of fondness.
  • In the old age homes team helps the senior citizens in retaining mental and emotional control up to the maximum possible extent and they feel like home.
  • Where people understand that old age makes a person irrational, impractical and unpredictable. Hence, each one is treated with respect and patience.



The best old age home is that where people don’t feel like they aren't staying with their families.
