Social Service Organizations - Help Every Elderly Who Is In Need Of Dire Help

Because of developments in medical as well as health care related sciences, people have started living a lot longer than in the past. As a matter of fact, it is anticipated that by the year 2025, nearly 125 million Indians will be more than 60 years of age and will need minimum nursing care on a daily basis. Majority of the aged citizens live in their homes with their families and like to stay there, only. Even though this practice is not new, changes in society as well as lifestyles have made the caring for the elderly more difficult.

In view of this, several social service organizations came into being.

Elder Health Care

• By offering health care services, these organizations focus on
• Supporting family and relieving them of the burden of care-giving
• Making sure that the independence as well as self-respect of the elder is maintained
• Improving the quality of life of the elder

Along with on the spot visits by Doctors, these healthcare Services offer Care for old people. These Senior Care services focus on routine observation and upkeep of senior citizens physical and mental health through periodic appointments by Specialists, Dieticians and more.

In the last few years, there has been increasing number of inquiries about accommodation alternatives for senior citizens, as well. The concept of accommodation for senior citizens, often referred to as old age homes in India has earlier been thwarted by a social stigma. The last few years have seen an increase in nuclear families and an increasing tendency of children of aged parents moving to other nations, eventually leading to families no longer being equipped to look after their senior members and moreover an increasing number of senior citizens who live by themselves and to some extent deal with running a household. The requirement expressed by this segment falls somewhere between that of the home care clienteles and the health care clientele. It is with the aim of addressing this need and making a continuum of care for seniors, these social service organizations were launched.

The organizations for elderly help older people claim their constitutional rights, challenge injustice and overcome poverty, so that they are able to lead good, safe, active and healthy lives.

Well……. the contribution of older people made to society is priceless. Yet older people remain some of the most deprived and most ignored in the world.

These organizations help every elderly who is in need of dire help. So, donate to such organizations to make their work easy and worthwhile.
