In today’s society, the elder people are facing so much distressing situation at their homes and prefer to live in old age shelters and retirement rooms. They have various contradictions with their adult family members. I shall discuss factors causing this tension and suggestions to address this issue.
Firstly, the older people have too many necessities of life such as medicines, diapers, handicapped stuff and preventive diets, the young offsprings may find it difficult to share their financial burden so their elder parents find it comfortable to go government supporting centers. Besides this, the world has become global village and masses are connected with one another through digital devices and have no time to spend specifically with their senior ones. Due to this reason, they left their elderly un noticed and ignored hence, the senior citizens find it good to spend quality time with friends of their age at old age homes and like to connect with their family through social media. Also, they get medical assistance properly at these institutes and are well taken care of. So, a gap is established between older ones and their children forcing seniors to shift home.
This problem can be solved if government plans to provide all essentials commodities to senior aged community at their homes. In this way they can have better relationship with their family. Additionally, proper counselling of juniors is important relevant to take care of their weak elder members. Parks and sittings should be built by government administration for adults so that they can easily communicate with their mates.
Family, the governmental organizations and paramedical staff need counselling and to work on various plans to handle this weak community of a society and it will help to overcome the problem.
