Abstract

It is anticipated that Bangladesh, along with a few other Asian nations, would house the majority of the old people during the next several decades. Generally, a lower mortality rate confirms the country's current and anticipated aging population. However, the present difficulties confronting Bangladesh's older people are proving to impede their well-being. There is a critical need for services geared exclusively for the older population, such as care and health services. Residential care homes are designed for elders who require round-the-clock help. Residents' safety and health care needs are handled in a family-like setting at these homes. Homes are generally nestled away in residential areas, providing more supervision and structure. This is an alternative for seniors who desire a quieter lifestyle, a homelike ambiance, and intimate relationships. Every house on the block is unique, and no two residential care homes for the elderly are alike in design or management. Some have a lot of things to do, while others are more lowkey. All residential care homes aim to provide high-quality living, care, meals, and companionship to their residents.
