The growing popularity of elderly care homes in urban Nepal

When a child is alone at home, there is always the fear that someone might break into the house, whereas when a senior citizen is alone, there is a fear that no one will come. This one sentence sums up the pain and fear of the elderly. It is also why care homes for the elderly have opened up in Kathmandu.

One has to work hard to get everything in life, but you do not need to do anything to get old age. As one grows older, the body begins to lose energy; the immune system becomes weak. As they cannot work on their own, they require more help, to even get up. In such a case, a caregiver can be a big help to families who have senior citizens.
