They often say 'home is where the heart is' or 'there is no place like home.The comfort of your own home cannot be replaced by an alien environment. Imagine living all your life with familiar people around you suddenly one day being asked to move to an alien place full of strangers. How would you feel? Now imagine what would it be like for an elderly? A familiar environment feels the safest,relaxed and peaceful. At that age home is the safest haven. A harsh reality of today's nuclear family set u,fast placed lifestyles and demanding professions are most important for every one and the fact is no one had time to look after their elders. People who stay abroad finds last resort as oldage homes for their parents or the elders.A man becomes a child after 60 ,so at that tender age they seek the company of their grandchildren."An empty mind is devils workshop".If we are lonely and depressed we may feel ill and our feelings towards our family may distance us from them. When the solution is as simple as keeping their minds occupied with positive thoughts and reinforcing the confidence in them and to motivate them.Creating fun and fulfilling relationships with elders is enough to keep them going. It is the only thing that we can do for our elders.
