Do you love your parents?
I think yes is the answer from all of us
Then why the concept of OLD AGE HOME started
if it is for orphans fine but now days all parents who are not earning(even though his sons are earning billions) and crossed 50+?
why?
what is the main reason...one day we will also in that age..why we are not digesting the fact and not acting?
is it because of fast growing and advance developments
I think this is the time for all of us and to comment on this growing decease

I always felt that our parents had gone through so much of hard time making us grown up...but still their are many children who care about such things, neither they have time or even a place to give them a single room in their multi storey house and so prefer to send them to old age homes...they didn't able to take the responsibility to giving some happy moments in their old age...I feel soory for them...we too get old someday and when our children do that with us the same way we treat them can only be imagined...

I can honestly say that I love my mom very much, my dad has already passed on.
I decided when I was in my early teens that I would never allow my mom to go live in a ursing home. I use to donate my Saturdays to go play games and have conversations with the elderly.The called it adopting a grandparent. The those that I say going on in the home would make a person think twice about sending a love one to live in a place like.The nurses and nurses aides were always nice when the family members were around but when the left you would see how some not all the care gaivers could be cruel.I would never want to subject my mom to that kind of abuse.

Well when a person get so old he or she can't take care of themselves then it's nice that there're some place that can take care of them. I wouldn't want my parents living with me, and I wouldn't have time to take care of them anyway. Plus I really don't think they would be interested in living with me. I don't know about the homes the the elderly in your country, but where I come from they are quite nice. :-)

I agree, elder homes aren't necessarily bad, nor do you need to be out of income at 50+, my grandpa worked his life (and his children) in a way that they'd never need of such a thing.
But it doesn't mean they have to be crappy. I love my mommy and I love my grandparents too, if I was to put them somewhere not home (if it really was my choice), I'd make it theirs to choose, if they're happy there we found a spot, if not, then it's no deal.
