It’s a matter of sorrow that sometime our senior citizens are not welcome anymore to his/her home for their son/daughter. They can’t feel safe to their house. There are some place here the old people are not alone, and they are safe and found people who take cares of them. They need regular health care and hospitality. When people is getting aged they are not normal health position, they are weaker than matured aged person. So they need extra care. When people retire from their works they remain stay all time in their home. But they want to move to see the nature or cope up the retirement time. When one of the person of a couple die the another one becomes alone. That time they want a company but all family can’t give him/her a company. So that senior person needs a company. Most of the population of our country is very poor. Some family can’t afford the senior persons treatment expense, so they search an alternative way. They need safety and security due to their health condition. So there is a need created for the old age home and old age healthcare Centre. These old age homes provide much and more protection to these old people than that of their homes. This is because here in these old age homes there would be probably a large number of people who can depend on each other. There may be also volunteers here who care for this old people. Today the protection is doubled since most of these old age homes are run down by many religious communities. Thus old age homes are important in modern society.
