<strong>Charitable</strong> <strong>Old</strong> <strong>age</strong> <strong>home</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Delhi</strong><br />

It takes but a look at an eat<strong>in</strong>g table setup <strong>in</strong> a modern house hold to gauge that<br />

the figure of the “head of the family” has shifted from the traditional eldest <strong>in</strong><br />

the family. While medic<strong>in</strong>e has leapfrogged s<strong>in</strong>ce Freedom, <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g life<br />

anticipation to as high as 65 years, the social science productivity of most of<br />

these elders stops at 58 or 60 politeness retirement. Add to that the fact that the<br />

old, <strong>in</strong>dividual to their own <strong>age</strong> and frequently ridden by quality, do not drop out<br />

unprofitably <strong>in</strong> the runn<strong>in</strong>g of the household and it Beg<strong>in</strong> to come clear how<br />

exactly the eldest one has been not only replaced from his lawful chair at the<br />

center of the table, but cast away to a corner of the house, or at times even<br />

worse.<br />

India will soon be <strong>home</strong> to the second big number of old people <strong>in</strong> the world.<br />

Over 75 million national above the <strong>age</strong> of 60, a legal <strong>age</strong> of who live without f<strong>in</strong>d<br />

pensions or never see their regular payment money reach them through the<br />

family v<strong>in</strong>e, live <strong>in</strong> the <strong>home</strong> they vertical with families they raised, treated as<br />

possession. Even realistically, <strong>in</strong> center work<strong>in</strong>g families of the current day


tak<strong>in</strong>g care of the old becomes a full time logistics issue even for the most<br />

dedicated steward.<br />

Therefore, old <strong>age</strong> house, Bench vise <strong>in</strong> our person of this problem, the west<br />

are agaric <strong>in</strong> our country too <strong>in</strong> virtually all major cities, for f<strong>in</strong>er or for worse.<br />

There are many <strong>Charitable</strong> <strong>Old</strong> <strong>age</strong> <strong>home</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Delhi</strong> today, of which some are<br />

for free, some are paid, some are for the sick and some exclusively for women.<br />

Here the senior, either forced out of their houses or hav<strong>in</strong>g walk<strong>in</strong>g out of them<br />

<strong>in</strong> lieu of peace, pride and fellow society live among st a family of unusual,<br />

<strong>in</strong>terpreted care of by strangers.<br />

Most of the old <strong>age</strong> house are put together with the idea of functionally<br />

conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g rather than really comfort<strong>in</strong>g the elderly aggregation. As it works,<br />

they are often <strong>in</strong>adequate and miss<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> facilities, <strong>in</strong> need of as much help as<br />

they can get.<br />

Here are some ways I could th<strong>in</strong>k of to help out:<br />

1) Donate: The casual and most apparent way is to donate material to the<br />

<strong>Charitable</strong> <strong>Old</strong> <strong>age</strong> <strong>home</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Delhi</strong>. However, <strong>in</strong>stead of go<strong>in</strong>g with general<br />

items of giv<strong>in</strong>g like clothes, it would be a good idea to talk to the staff at the<br />

<strong>home</strong> and build out what they’d really f<strong>in</strong>d helpful and get that. Books, blankets<br />

and mosquito nets are however among st the coniferous options.<br />

2) Help with your profession: For medical and teachers mostly, this is a<br />

very good option to help out with your skills. Free day-to-day medical check ups<br />

and medic<strong>in</strong>es are someth<strong>in</strong>g the elderly can always use, and what <strong>age</strong> is there,<br />

really, to stop learn<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

3) Offer companionship: Danger and isolation are everyday realities for<br />

people <strong>in</strong> the old <strong>age</strong> house. The <strong>Old</strong>er here, often derelict by their near and dear<br />

ones, recognize more than one can put <strong>in</strong>to words a fun and mutual day spent<br />

with a visitor. Be with them, conversation with them, play games with them :<br />

they will realize it more than can be put <strong>in</strong>to words. Medium of exchange<br />

donations, for those of us who are fit, enable the <strong>home</strong> directly to obta<strong>in</strong> what<br />

would be the best for their Guest. Other than, for those of us who believe <strong>in</strong> the<br />

personal touch, the ideas cited above help, as do other personalized ideas.<br />

The th<strong>in</strong>g to remember is that the old here need dignity and honor more than<br />

they will ever need the worldly we help with. Any help offered with that <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d<br />

will go a long way <strong>in</strong>to effort these veterans what they deserve.
