Development of high-end senior-only communities in India
Development of high-end senior-only communities in India provides more choices to senior citizens
India is a country known for its sentiment where respect for elders is known to be our sanctity, then why is it that more and more communities for elderly people are being created in our society? Why is the number of tortured and ill-treated senior citizens growing?
For:
- The societies especially constructed for senior residents, those who are deprived of social priorities will provide with quality living, serviced apartments, group activities and gym sessions
- With the crime rate increasing day by day, these societies will keep them physically safe
- It will also look in for systematic and regular health and medical supervision
- Individuals who in-spite of their age want to be and are financially independent and want to take their own decisions, these communities will help them in doing so
- When everyone is busy with their own engagements and their daily schedule, we often miss spending time with our elders, in such a scenario even they feel lonely. With this concept emerging their loneliness will be eradicated.
Against:
- This concept will lead to a plodding corrosion of Indian family morals of which compassionate caring for the senior citizens was an essential component
- Although, people have got busy in their daily schedule, but yet this does not mean that we put them in another house and meet them just once a week or so
- At old age, they only long for the youths time and affection which will be completely taken away from them
- Being considerate for the elderly not only indoctrinates the same morals amongst the fledgling cohorts but can also help the families themselves
- Plus, everybody cannot afford an expensive and luxurious senior – living projects
Conclusion:
- With today’s hectic lifestyle, we do not get much time to spend with our families, but instead of completely abandoning them we should take out alternatives and spend time with them as well.
