If we go back a couple of decades back, Senior Care in India was nowhere to be seen. Nobody believed that senior care can be a reality and we all can take part in making lives better for the seniors. But, times have changed for good now and we do not have any such problems prevailing now. Today, people are becoming more and more conscious about these problems in societies and making efforts to reduce this stereotyping. We believe that you should be making those changes into consideration so that you can be aware of the current scenario. So let us present you the situation now-:
1. Food full of nutrition
During the earlier times, there were no proper facilities for nutrition in food. The food that seniors used to get back then was either a left out or prepared with cheap material. Such food can only make a person even more ill and malnourished. But, nowadays retirement homes take complete care of their food habits. Foods that are rich in fiber, fats, proteins, and carbohydrates are being provided to them to make their bodies equipped enough to fight the ailments around.
2. Luxury Facilities
The luxuries of life are as important to seniors as it is to you. Today largely due to the awareness campaigns that are being run by various NGO’s and government organizations, senior care in India has seen a paradigm shift in the past few decades. In senior homes today, there are sorts of entertainment facilities from dance floors, entertainment areas, games and parks where they can go and relax. Such a change has led to a drastic improvement in the life expectancy of the people over 60 years of age. All these luxuries have made significant improvements in senior life.
3. Medical and Health Care
Since everybody is contributing to this holy cause of making the senior life better, various medical institutions have also decided to tie up with retirement homes and are always ready to help them out in case anybody needs any urgent help. This medical and health care facility has saved many lives and the quality of life has also been improved. In this way, most of the people who once were struggling to live, are now living happily in these senior care homes.
So, these were some of the changes that we have witnessed in the past years in senior assisted living.
