I have made up my mind to jot down my feelings of how I feel about senior citizens and the treatment that they get in some of the developed countries of the world. I couldn’t help but write because I constantly feel a sense of responsibility towards them which I fail to express verbally. When I see the elders being treated in a manner they are not supposed to be, my heart aches. Whoever I am today, I owe all my credits to my parents. Now as they are gracefully ageing, I compare them to the mistreatment done to older senior citizens across the globe the news of which gets flooded every other day. This “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” as quoted by Wordsworth is a shout out to all the people reading this to understand the significance of elderly care.

I have introspected on many reasons about this but what I have come up with are the strongest of them. The first reason that wins the list is that the seniors who are our parents or grandparents are our first mentors. So what if you are busy, a little show of caring for the elderly can bring the brightest smile on their face. Who taught you the basics of life? Please ponder over it.

Home Care Services

Secondly, when we were kids, they were busy too earning for fulfilling our needs and cooking to give us the best nutritional food one should have in the initial years of growth and even later. How can we not be grateful to those gestures and help them come over their loneliness with the help of home care services. In the United Kingdom, I must mention here that there is a great organization that provides the best of these services. iCare is what they call it. Have a chat with them and may be you get a better vision.

Assisted Living

Thirdly, when an old person is constantly assisted, living gets easier. With this motive in mind, the foundation iCare has been playing a pivot role in the country to give better lives to those are in home care. They have the meticulous approach to understand what ageing can be and provide with the best home care assistance for the old members in the house. After all, they gave you the best of education. Now it’s our turn to give back.

In Home Care

Fourthly, their love is unconditional unlike the modern lot and depends on us for their days which are numbered. You being busy with work is rational but not being able to find them the best home care services like that of iCare is definitely irrational.

Senior Care

Finally, they have never whined for what they had done for us. So do we have the right? I don’t think so. Instead of sending them to a senior care home away from your home, ensure the care is available within the home so that their emotion is not played with.
