Mom and dad bought this house from an old man, then thirteen years past, this is 2004. yes, it is already 2004, how fast is it! I stood there, staring at the empty room with only a little furniture. I can't feel home, where is my home? I don't know this weird feeling. Happy and sad at the same time. However, if I left, is it going to be an enjoyable life, or it is going to be another way that leads me to my doom? I kept repeating in my mind. Isn't this what I was always hoping? To leave this old and dirty house? I told myself to not panic. I turned and look at the broken window, the reflection of myself. Dark black hair, brown eyes, and a friendly smile. Everyone like me in this village, if I move to a new place, they will like me too. Would they? Everything is fine as I expected. But, as I step into our old truck, as I heard the old engine's rumbling sound, I suddenly realized what am I facing. I am facing the unknown, it's like a black hole, you never know what is going to happen when you step inside. It's endless.

For example, less communication with other family members. According to Moody and Sasser, "The ideal of a continuum of care expresses the aim of keeping older people as long as possible out of nursing homes –the most expensive and service– intensive settings" (p. 158). Medicaid does not cover total cost of the senior and nursing homes. In 2000, Metlife studies showed "the average cost of year in a private nursing home was $90,520.

Pakistan's demographic trends show that between 1990 till 2010, the population aged 60+ years increased by 75.1 %. It is projected that the life expectancy will increase to 72 years by 2023. WHO report (1998) projected that 5.6 % of Pakistan's population was over 60 years of age, with a probability of doubling to 11 % by the year 2025.

They develop psychotic disorders due to depression and dejection. They develop certain diseases by not eating healthy food which is not providing the necessary multi– vitamins needed to survive in the old age. Employee's Old age benefits pension money is used by their family members. They have very limited social life. Lack of religious and basic education deprived them from doing anything useful to pass the time.

Others who are incapable of supporting themselves should be provided with partial or full social welfare grants that at least provide for their basic needs. Families and communities may be encouraged to support the elderly living with them through counseling and local self– governance. Neglect The elderly, especially those who are weak and/or dependent, require physical, mental and emotional care and support. When this is not provided, they suffer from neglect, a problem that occurs when a person is left uncared for and that is often linked with isolation. Changing lifestyles and values, demanding jobs, distractions such as television, a shift to nuclear family structures and redefined priorities have led to increased neglect of the elderly by families and communities. This is worsened as the elderly are less likely to demand attention than those of other age groups. The best way to address neglect of the elderly is to counsel families, sensitise community leaders and address the issue at all levels in different forums, including the print and audio–visual media.

It is unavoidable, undesirable, unwelcome and problem– ridden phase of life. But it is really interesting to note that everybody wants to live a long life, but not to be old. It is ironical that however undesirable the old age, it is bound to come in life. A man is compelled to go through the pains and pleasures of this age like the other phases of life before making an exit from this mortal world. An old man is full of experiences and even though experiences are of immense help to the younger generation, he is taken as an unwanted burden.

The problem of loneliness and isolation is the gift of modern society. The society forces an old person to live like an island. Often he faces the loss of spouse and old friends. In fact, during the old age one is faced with multi –dimensional problems. One of the major problems is the financial constraint which is really more difficult in case of those old persons who are not entitled to any social security and have no source of income, completely depending on their spouse or children. People of this consumer culture do not have sufficient money to provide financial support to their parents; neither do they take it as their moral responsibility. This situation is really unfortunate and needs to be addressed properly. Added to this is the depressing anxiety of not knowing just how far ahead one must plan or for how long one is forced to dependent financially on his children to meet his requirements. This brings more despondency to him. This plays havoc with the lives of the elderly. The picture is really grim in the twilight years of the life which ought to have been the best years of a person's life, when man is free from every kind of responsibilities. In fact, it is an appropriate time for him to enjoy life without care and concern. He finally has time to live –"sit in shade/reliving the good old times/letting bad memories fade."

Old –age homes have become popular in Bangladesh. The traditional structure of a family of Bangladesh is turning into a fast, racy lifestyle, where ambitious youth are discarding the old values and in turn, their parents. The parents are forced to live out their old age alone. An old man, once the head of the family is now a subdued member of a house of strangers. The woman who once happily cooked three meals a day is now forbidden from entering the community kitchen. There are no phones in the old– age center, and the residents know no one will ask for them.

Lastly I will put question when old homes can be beneficial for our country. I intend to find answers to such questions through my research work. The primary data will be collected by interviewing and passing questionnaires to the general citizens of Dhaka city. To further clarify matters, I will take help from a wide range of interesting secondary sources. They mostly include the related materials published in the books, internet, newspapers, magazines, journals, reports, motion pictures and even in a song. By integrating my primary and secondary data, I hope to give conclusive evidence to support my hypothesis. In brief, the hypothesis I am aiming to prove in this research is that, our parents do not deserve to live in an old home at their old age and the children of our country should keep their parents with them till their last breath. Areas of Research Through the research paper I intend to do my research about the following areas: 1. Introduction of old homes in Bangladesh. a. When it was first introduced in Bangladesh? b. Who organized these old homes? c. What kind of elderly people first started to reside there? My finding was from 1960, by a private initiative – Bangladesh Association for the Aged and Institute of Geriatric Medicine

Everyone agrees that no senior citizen should be abused or neglected, however people cannot agree on how much the government should be regulating senior living facilities. Before looking at the social and economic costs and benefits of creating stricter federal regulations to prevent elderly abuse, it is important to know the history and views of both sides of the debate on elderly abuse. In the twenty first century, nursing homes have become a standard form of care for most aging adults. However, most care institutions have not always existed. Before the nineteenth century, there were no age restricted institutions and instead, elderly individuals who needed... Show more content on Helpwriting.net... While elderly abuse is difficult to trace throughout the year, it is clear that as these long term care facilities became more popular, people also became more aware of neglect and abuse on aging adults. Through different acts and mandated legislation, it is shown that the US government has been continually increasing regulations and restrictions on care facilities to help with the problem of elderly abuse. Title XX of the Social Security Act in 1974 was one of the first acts that pushed for states to provide Adult Protective Services (NAPSA). This act gave permission for states to use funds from Social Services Block Grant funds for the protections of adults as well as children. As this act began to be implemented in states, there was also a concern about the paternalistic nature of these services and how involved the government and state was going to be. However, by 1981 all states had an office with the responsibility of providing protective services to some segment of the population and states reported that they had spent a total of $83,260,303 in Social Security Block Grant funds for Adult Protective Services (NAPSA). Even with all of this money being spent, the problem of elder abuse continues to exist in epidemic proportions and the incidence of this abuse continues to increase throughout the years.

They bought some blankets, food items, sweets and some other products which is needed by the inmates. At that time there is a clash between the inmates to get that product. Indian government help those poor people by implementing various schemes like National Old Age Pension Scheme (NOAP) which was introduced to provide Rupees 200 per month to the old and destitute people. But money cannot take place of emotional support, care etc. In 2007, The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and senior Citizen Act (Senior Citizen Act) is enacted to provide some speedy and inexpensive remedy to get maintenance.

A seven year old was supposed to live in Brahmacharya – ashram / gurukul or a present day distant equivalent of a boarding school till his twenties. The second quarter of his life was to be spent as a householder or a Grhasthya. In the third quarter, he was to retire from routine household activities and set out into the forests, which was called Vanaprastha – ashram.

For eg, travel a distance to meet your friends, travel to the doctor – if the person is not suffering from a serious ailment, travel to the club, and so on. It is a fast growing idea with a huge market. Although poor old destitutes do need shelter and should have separate, and very differently managed, old age homes for them at no or low cost, an old age home should no more be looked at as just a "charitable institution" or asylum. It should be taken seriously as a lucrative venture. It should involve management as a career option just like in hotels and resorts. This project will show how concepts from our age– old Vedic roots can be combined with modern thought to provide the perfect physical, material, emotional, psychological and spiritual solution to problems faced by senior persons today. This project looks into real– life issues that people have in moving into an old age home, and attempts to provide solutions to them through proper planning and application of effective management techniques. This leads us to a very lucrative option for organizational management.

The answer is that some people do not want to take care of their elderly parents and some people think nursing home care gives the elderly a better care. Most people believe that taking care of aging parents is their children's responsibility. In different countries of the world, people live according to their own cultural values. They have the right to express their own opinion.Some people believe that children should take care of their aging parents; others think children should not take care of their aging parents. I strongly agree that children should take care of their aging parents for some reasons. To begin with, they gave us life. Parents who help us to grow up; without them we would not be in this world. Parents took care of us when we were completely helpless and in need. They provided shelter, clothes, medicine whatever we needed at that time; also they provided education, and teach us how we could survive in this world. Parents always try to make their children able and they want to see them a successful person. Sometime parents even kill their own desire and happiness to make their children successful. Therefore, they have right to expect something from their children in their old age. Parents are like God; they are the most precious in our life.

Technologies are being used to supplement human care– giving (involving both the care– provider and the care– receiver) since these help increase the autonomy of elders and enable them to "age in place". Such technologies are gradually beginning to find a place in the Indian society as well, both at the level of home modifications and personal use, and, in institutions created for the Senior Citizens.

Neglect can come in many ugly forms and can be quite horrifying when actually investigated. When we as a society fail to meet the needs of our senior community we are only creating a perhaps dreadful prelude to our own inevitable destiny. Elder neglect is the failure to fulfill obligations to a senior citizen. According to one report, it accounts for 49% of elder abuse cases (Protecting the Older Adult, Nursing, July 2000).

(Litigating the Pressure Sore Case, Lesley Clement, Forum Vol. 30 (6), August 2000). A resident that is bedridden or confined to a wheelchair must be repositioned at least every two hours in order to relieve pressure on specific areas. Bedsores that are neglected or untreated can cause tissue to deteriorate becoming painfully infected. Prevention requires adequate staffing putting in time and actual effort. The fact whether the neglect was intentional or not is not the important issue, it is whether the safety of the resident has been compromised as in allowing a resident with Alzheimers to roam unsupervised outside the facility. Staff may be more susceptible to elder abuse if they are stressed by too many responsibilities, are deficient in training, work under deprived conditions or just not suited to care giving in nursing homes. Many elders who are cared for in the homes of their family members, who are responsible for their direct care, are also being abused through neglect. This type of neglect is harder to detect. Friends and members of the family might just chalk up signs of abuse to the fact that the elder might be showing signs of dementia or just basic old age syndrome. Elders may not be able to stand up for themselves in abusive conditions especially if they are frail and not thinking, seeing or hearing as well as they used to. They depend on their caregivers to assist them. Family >>> Get more content on Helpwriting.net <<<

Advocacy is a means for people of a community to help one another through selfless service and sacrifice. The purpose of this essay is to address the issue of advocacy in the human services field as it pertains to a special needs population. The special needs population that this essay will focus on is the elderly population.

The size of the elderly rose in absolute terms during the last century from 12 million in 1901 to approximately 71 million in 2001 and is likely to reach 113 million in 2016. Yet another feature of ageing in India is the fact that the proportion of elderly is much higher in the rural areas than in the urban areas. The sex–wise pattern of growth of elderly population reveals that the increase is greater among women in the recent past, which indicates that elderly women will outnumber elderly men in the future. There is therefore an urgent need to examine the various aspects of this new and fast growing population to ensure the design of appropriate policy and programmes directed to meet the varied needs of this vulnerable and dependent group. India, like many traditional societies, today faces a unique situation in providing care for its elderly as the existing old –age support structures in the form of family, kith and kin, are fast eroding and the elderly are ill–equipped to cope alone with their lives in the face of infirmity and disability.
