Most seniors in India don't get pension .And many don't have Health Insurance. That's the Middle class . Lower income group is a different story . They have little in terms of any financial security & mostly are dependent on their family to help them as they get older
Senior living is vital in India. The Modi Govt need to provide for these needy families who live on minimal budgets to survive. The culture of Senior living is one in which the families provide the care giving with compassion love love care to appreciate their senior and elderly family members in their final chapter of life. Great report Palki.
Its not a luxury though, In places like Coimbatore, where retirement villas are booming, for 15-20k per month u get all facilities from rent, to medical care and 3 meals a day! Even delivered to ur room if u r unable to walk to the common mess area A lot of senior citizens esp over 75 prefer moving themselves..even for temporary period Esp the ones with NRI kids Kids dont hv to worry about them falling down or getting robbed..(many cases in cities these days) Parents gets company of other people of their age groups and all senior facilities! It makes a lot of sense.. They can infact rent their own homes and use that money for the retirement home ..so even financially its a win win
Very true I live in one with my mom. It helps tenfold for all stakeholders. Yes the business vertical needs to understand a lot more about care giving the services and facilities. Folks are new in this space so they are learning. Coimbatore and Pollachi through Kerala is a huge hub for retirement communities and living spaces

The Lunatic/Selfish West doesn't get to decide what happens in Bharat. Unlike the West, We respect our Family Members. OUR PARENTS RAISED US AND TOOK CARE OF US SO WILL REMAIN WITH OUR PARENTS TILL DEATH AND BEYOND.
Don't be so self righteous...I come from an extremely good educated and rational minded Indian family and I've seen close relatives treat their parents like a burden!! Despite getting all the good moral values and right environment.. Kids can (doesn't matter where in the world) can become greedy and selfish! It's human nature!! It's better to live anywhere honourable life with someone ur age in a retirement home rather than listen to abuse and mental torture of ur kids in ur own home!
@@user-jn7bq8wh1e Thank you for your rational comment. Yes have experienced this with my mother and her extreme generosity to her whole extended family since the age of 31 when she was widowed.

Her sister refused to visit her because she felt depressed in her company although she happily took millions of rupees. Sheer Greed.
Stop blaming the West. The same West which millions of illegal Indians migrate to with the help of Agents/People smugglers and Modi begs for visas only in the West. Just tone down your arrogance against the West cause the Western diaspora send remittances which prop up your GDP. According to world bank Indians' remittances are the highest in the world.

India should go for high deposit rates of 10% because there is lack of demand due to massive unemployment and senior citizens have no pension still deposit rates are too low.
Our ancestral tradition taught us that taking care of the elderly people & giving tender loving care to your grandparents & parents is equal to serving God.I It's much more than going to temple & offering prayers. The first is your action towards elderly. Action always speak better than words.You feel eternally blissful when you care for the elderly & earn their Blessings 🌹🙏🙏🙏🌹
Correct. In todays metro cities in India, cost of living is very high and jobs are less with massive competition and that is why most parents have only one child (except some communities) . It is very hard for the children to take care of themselves with an insecure job and permanent automation - let alone supporting their old parents, medical bills, nursing support, medical ailments. That is why there is something called "Retirement Planning" and if you have not done any retirement planning during your youthful life, you are going to pay the price in your old age.
@@saviofrancisfernandes413 Support of children is part of the Retirement planning at least in India. Parents invest their finances, resources, physical effort, emotions & younger days in their kids & then what ? Once adults, children disappear from their lives or just become the occasional visitors ? .. That's as good as having guests in the house for more than 2 decades, guests who are parasites feeding on everything that the parents have
Where seniors live happily blessings will be abundant. They have right to life and enjoy their wealth and live happily with their family for all the pain they have taken in bringing up their younger ones in their hopeless young age. Hope this generation retains respect and value for elders and voice for Indian culture valuing family❤
If you can afford such a luxurious retirement home, you can afford personalised care even when at home. Most people who end up in retirement homes in here, are not the privileged ones. They are the ones whose children refuse to take care of the very parents who raised them.
@@vishnuvardhan3047 Please stop calling people names. Stop also lecturing ppl with a different perspective. Respect is earned and is not an entitlement of Parents who bring children into the world with zero input from the children.
senior living is something which a few categories of ppl might find as a boon, say those who were single or the children gone away etc, and bascially those who dont have any younger members to care for them,
India has been a poor country for a very long time. People gave birth to too many children whether they could afford or not. This was because in the previous generations there was a high incidence of infant mortality. So, the population has grown to unmanageable levels. There is too much competition for everything these days. Everything costs a lot. Taking care of aged parents has therefore become a big challenge, not only in terms of money needed for the care, but also the distance between working children and their old parents. Often the children go to other cities or even other countries for finding jobs. To some extent we can say that modern life has given way to selfishness. But it has become almost unavoidable. Children can’t be blamed for that. There is one other point that needs to be mentioned. People have neglected their health in their younger years and therefore need care from other people in old age. If you eat healthy food and exercise regularly you will be in a better shape to handle old age. Having said all this, old age homes are not all bad. Some of them are luxurious.
Kids are forced to migrate out of India considering very cheap 1 dollar per hour salaries offered by chronic capitalists like Narayan Murthy in India. This leaves parents to fend for themselves and good senior living communities with on site ambulance and a nurse for first aid will save lots of lives which otherwise will end prematurely. First and foremost restrooms should have fall alert systems
Senior living- may be more categorical data analysis is needed. For those seniors more dependent on help due to physical inability reports suggest abuse and shorter life span in elder care facilities.
I think we should not follow what the western are doing instead make it compulsory to have senior friendly apartments in a normal residential apartments. This way elderly will not feel isolated living amoung other elderly rather be motivated seeing young kids around and hearing them play. Government should strengthen their hospitals.
But i think , if we hindus religiously follow our culture, then we shouldn't need these old age homes.... because our parents took care of our entire growing age and it's time to pay them back... respect the elders and treat them as an asset in the family.... 🙏
This mindset is set in the past. As a parent it is my responsibility to look after them and not the other way round. Hindu religion or culture should never be a criterion for reciprocating as children did not ask to be brought into this world. Parents decided to have children and today in India irresponsible parenting has led to out of control population = poverty lack of food education sanitation joblessness. Modi/Hindu high priest religious follower of culture feels compelled to encourage. Rightly so. India has become the supplier of Human resource = slave labour going to war zones Russia/Israel.
