Is It A Joy Having Elderly People Around At Home Or Not

[prashansas 0]

I personally believe it is very important to have an elderly person like our grandmom or grandpa at home apart from our parents. Because from my personal experience i believe they complete a family. Their presence is very important. With my own personal experience I would say that having my grandmom around was so much of a joy and I always felt content to have her near me. Whenever I disagreed with my parents I would run to her and she would always be there for me.Like it's said when our loved ones become old we need to put them in an old age home as most of the times we have our own life style where they don't fit into as there is a vast difference in the way we think and they think on certain matters.But apart from that it's always a blessing to have old people around at home as they are not only experienced about life but there can be situation where they can help us handle things. And let's not forget it was them that we went to when we were young and we relied on them completely. They took care of us as youngsters. And today when they need us we just abandon them because they are incapable of taking care of themselves and are completely relying on us for everything.

Referring to grand parents as the elderly perhaps sounds very impersonal. When one speaks of them, one should think of them as parents of parents. Just as one would want to have his or her parents around, their parents would want their parents around too, or at least they should.The old age homes ought to be for the people who have lost all their children rather than for the general population when they grow old. Every nation has the provision to bring along one's parents, even as an expatriate, so why would anyone have to send their parents to old age homes?

It is really joy, when you have elderly people around you...it may not be your grandparents. Even I use to enjoy my life being with Uncle, Aunt, Cousins, my brothers. Even younger ones use to make me feel good. I feel good with any age group, as long as he or she is caring, loving and my presence matters to them. Nitin sir, old age homes are not for people, who have lost there own children. If you really go to old age homes, then sir you can get the real picture. Elderly people are suffering everywhere and in every places. You might find people who are good to there parents. But after marriage many things changes for that individual. Old people are really dumped in this old age homes. Nitin sir, Abdul Kalam our ex-president, wanted to close all the old age homes. His intention was that this elderly, suffering old people must not be dumped at this old age homes. The old people must be properly taken care by there children's. That was his motive behind that...
