Reasons to settle for Old age homes - Problems elderly face at their homes


senior care services

Victor Hugo once said, “When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age”. But of late, this dawn has started to see a little dimness. Let’s see what they are: 


1.Proper Care
Unlike ever before, our age has been witnessing an abrupt rise in the idea of nuclear family system. Nowadays, a senior communities has just one or two children, who also leave home as soon as they grow old, for their education or for work. Due to this, the parents are left alone at home, devoid of their children who are supposed to take their care at this age. 

2.Assistance with personal tasks

As you grow old, you not only start losing your sight and might, but also add to your ability of dependency on others, though against will. And because of your lonesomeness, you may not even find anyone for help.

3.Food service

Who doesn’t want a good life? Who doesn’t like to have nice food and toil for that? Indeed everybody does. Then why should our elderly you compromise on that, just because you have grown old and cannot go out buying stuffs or put yourself to cook? 
This doesn’t seem fair.

4.Health care & Safety

With age, an increase in the unevenness of health is expected. Thus all you need is to give more attention to yourself now. Plus, safety also turns into major concern now. There have been cases reported where the elderly forgets to turn off the gas in kitchen and falls asleep.

Therefore, the concept of senior living homes was an utmost need and emerged as the best resolve to all the problems of the senior communities. Places like the Golden Estate (www.thegoldenestate.com) restores the respect our elders are worthy of but were unable to locate.

Luxuries of Old Age

Age is nothing but a number. There is nothing that you cannot do at 80, which you could at 18. A survey says people who are more likely to perceive themselves as old, actually get old sooner. Rest stay young at heart, all their lives.

Although yes, it is an inevitable truth of life and one just cannot do anything about it, but can obviously do a lot of things with it. All you need is not to give up on positivity, and all the world is still yours.
Here are some of the luxuries of Old age, one must avail:

1. Enjoy your retirement.
You already have had enough of 50 working hours a week. It is time to relax now. It is time you do something which you have desired all your life. Take up some hobbies. Choose any art. Take all the time you want. And explore it.

2. Enjoy an active social life.
Isn’t it high time you took a break or go social with your friends? The one constant hitch of all your life is the biggest benefit of your retirement. You have plenty of time at hand. Use this time socializing with your friends and relatives. Take your grandchildren to parks. Or, show them how beautiful are the sunsets.

3. Enjoy attractive food.
Good balanced food and sound sleep is most important. Don’t ever compromise on that. Your body might be weakening and needs proper nutrients intake. Plus, nutritious food also helps keeping you healthy and automatically fights some of the old age ailments.

4. Enjoy your nest eggs.
It is time to spend your savings now. Plan trips, pack your bags and go tour. Buy a camera, and go shoot the seven wonders. Write about your experiences. Or, join reading hubs, and read as many books you can of your choice. The idea is, loosen up a little.

5. Enjoy an active life.
Our body needs to move. They need to be used to their full ability, everyday. Go out. Do some exercises. Take up yoga. Go for hiking round the outskirts. Swim. Stay fit, and stay young.

Old age in this new era has its own bonuses. Today, we have retirement communities e.g. the Golden Estate (www.thegoldenestate.com), which offers senior care service, selflessly. All they need is to place your trust with these communities, and they will happily do all your retirement planning.

Senior citizens and their difficulties in communication



There are many different hearing, language, and speech problems that affect the elderly. By understanding what the symptoms are seniors can seek SeniorCitizens Services and identify the problem as early as possible.

Hearing difficulties affect many elderly across India. The most common cause of this is presbycusis which is age-related hearing loss. This loss of hearing happens slowly, and first results in the difficulty to hear high-frequency sounds as someone talks. As this condition gets worse, lower-frequency sounds can become difficult to hear as well. Some of the symptoms include: difficulty hearing in noisy places, ringing in the ears, and voices sounding slurred or mumbled. It will also be easier to understand a mans voice than a womans. While there is no cure for this condition, there are some treatments available with the most common being hearing aids.

Aphasia is a condition where seniors experience impairment in language ability. Symptoms may include the inability to understand language, inability to form words or pronounce words, and inability to read or write.

The major causes of aphasia are strokes and head injuries. And because of the complex nature of aphasia there is no universal treatment method. It presents itself differently in patients and, therefore, requires a team effort in providing a treatment plan. This may include a doctor, social worker, speech pathologist, psychologist, and occupational therapist. Overall treatment has been known to create positive outcomes when learning to adjust to these limitations in communication.

Dysarthria is a disorder that interferes with the normal production of speech. People who have dysarthria often have challenges with vocal quality, range, tone, strength in speech, and timing. Causes of dysarthria include degenerative disease (Parkinsons, Huntingtons disease, and ALS), embolic stroke, and traumatic brain injury. Treatment is typically done by speech pathologists and includes a variety of techniques.

If you notice a change in speech, memory, organisation, or communication in general than it should be reported to your physician or the seniors physician immediately. These problems can often occur when there is an underlying problem, so its important to address this as soon as possible.
