Old Age Care [New Life Charity Mission Project]
"Sunrise paints the sky with pinks and the sunset with peaches. Cool to warm. So is the progression from childhood to old age." - Vera Nazarian
Old Age Care
The condition of the aged people living below poverty line is still heart rendering. Most of them are either neglected by their family members or abandoned in view of the acute poverty. The specific health problems faced by them are eyesight, orthopedic, back strains, nutrition and in some cases asthma or other respiratory problems. They have to spend their rest of the life in utter penury. Even the personal hygiene of these old aged people both living in shelters or independently is highly deplorable. Mental health is also neglected.
