“Old age homes”, the very words bark out extreme selfishness and rather inhumanity. Forcing senior family members to stay in faraway place, away from family is indeed a cruel concept and sounds every bit bitter. However, when the word “old age” changes to “retirement” it becomes very independent and wise move. Yes, Retirement home is an emerging concept in modern India.
With the rising economy and urbanization, it is often not possible these days to own and maintain a large family home, and therefore nuclear family is on rising. Also senior citizens these days have changed a lot in their thought-process. Even they believe in not relying and falling back on kids after retirement, but maintain their independence and financial stability. Both in collaboration had led to acceptance of the western concept of retirement homes.
