dc.description.abstract | It is expected that Bangladesh, in upcoming decades will be home to a major number of elderly
people due to decrease in mortality rate (3.94% decline from 2018) and an increase in life
expectancy rate (0.39% increase from 2018).This situation will further reinforce the current
and projected ageing population of this country. However, existing challenges faced by the
elderly community in Bangladesh prove to be a hindrance in their wellbeing. Given the changes
taking place in lifestyle, family patterns and working environment, there is a crucial
requirement for services specifically targeted towards the elderly population - that includes
care and health services. Thus in light of the current conditions faced by the elderly population
of Bangladesh, an idea has been introduced by the government to alleviate the situation by
providing a facility for affluent retired senior citizens of this country. For creating such
retirement home, authority has chosen a tranquil place in the outskirts of Sreemangal in Sylhet
division. The project, under the guidance of the Ministry of Social Welfare, will aim to provide
residential, recreational, healthcare and other ancillary services to the target population of
Bangladesh. Through successful implementation of this project, it is expected that the complex
would assist in remedying the current lack of specialized facilities for the elderlies as well as
provide proper care and an active life to senior citizens who are unable to care for themselves
in the long run. | en_US |
