At the Service of Aged

Traditionally elders care has been the responsibility of family members and was provided within the extended family home. Increasingly in modern societies, elders care is now being provided by state or charitable institutions. The reasons for this change include decreasing family size, the greater life expectancy of elderly people, the geographical dispersion of families, In almost all cases in which elderly persons are declared mentally or physically incompetent to adequately take care of themselves The family should be one of the most important providers for the elderly.

In fact, the majority of caregivers for the elderly are often members of their own family, most often a daughter or a granddaughter. Family and friends provide a home (i.e. have elderly relatives live with them), help with money and meet social needs by visiting, taking them out on trips, etc. but it sad that we don’t find people caring the elderly mother or father because of impaired mobility. They feel it is a burden to take care of them, thus most of the elders are abandoned Impaired mobility is a major health concern for older adults, affecting fifty percent of people over 85 and at least a quarter of those over 75. As adults lose the ability to walk, to climb stairs, and to rise from a chair, they become completely disabled.
