Assisted-Care living facilities for the elderly need more attention and acceptance in India. Families have begun putting it on the discussion table instead of brushing it under the carpet. With the nuclearization of families, the younger generation pursuing careers across the globe, refusal by the elder to be uprooted, or not having the practical stretch to provide full-time care to ageing family members often leads to choosing the best elderly care facility. The idea is to keep the quality of living uncompromised.

Surat (Gujarat) is a city that ticks the many boxes for suitable and sustainable assisted care living. Assisted Care facilities in India today cater to the needs of the elderly, wherein they or family can make informed choices. The amenities, safety aspects, and staying in the company of a like-minded community are what good Elderly-Care facilities offer.

Assisted Care Facility- 3 Reasons to Consider

• Constant Care: An ageing population that often falls under the umbrella of “vulnerable” covers multimorbidity, physical incapacities, severe mental illness, or psychological issues that it becomes almost an impossibility for the family to provide care consistently. They may be at low, medium, or high risk, but if the family cannot monitor or care for them around the clock, it is time to consider a facility.
• Quality Living: If the ageing elder exhibits a need to be part of a community with similar age group-related recreational activities, community engagements, and recreational options along with medical and personal care, then one is encouraged to choose assisted care facility. The best part is one does not need to worry about housekeeping, laundry, medicine reminders, or doctor appointment. Is any day better than them dealing with loneliness at home or being at a nursing home?
• Personal circumstances: With families scattered across the globe and elderly parents wanting to stay rooted in their country, the decision to move to assisted care is only fair. More and more senior citizens now want to be self-dependent while their families look for assured care for their parents. Sometimes even the loss of a partner brings an unexplained feeling of emptiness and helplessness. A care facility that encourages interactions and friendships goes a long way in dealing with the loss.

Any decision taken by the family members would be based on factors like standard of living, accessible healthcare facilities, affordability, distance from kin and family, and the provision of facilities as desired. Ultimately the willingness, preparedness, and cooperation of the family enable a smooth sailing decision and settlement. We cannot hide under the so-called fear of social stigma. Comfort and care of elders must be the priority.
