Gone are the days when looking after the elderly was the duty of Children.
No longer.
If you imagine this is because of economic reasons, you are mistaken.
A good percentage of these people in the Senior Citizen’s Home are the parents of children settled abroad.
Children send in money and ask the parents to take care of themselves.
I had posted the elders , taking into consideration of the changing value systems, one has to accept reality, without being morose about these issues.
The elders were here before these children were born and were taking care of themselves.
No point in mourning on this issue.
One can be self-reliant if one is confident.
What it needs is the unnecessary clinging to some one else even if it be Children.
One should be happy that they have at least the Financial security.
Imagine people with out even this and being discarded and neglected
One is required to be more updated on the information side and the minimum skill to operate modern gadgets,
If one has a basic knowledge of Computers and Internet, most of your problems are solved.
My brother’s wife, 74, is a Diabetes patient and my Brother is 82 years.
She needs Insulin injections daily and she can not nor my brother can Use a Syringe.
The Nurse who comes is not regular and my brother has to keep on hunting for a Nurse for injections.
Locating the nurses is a problem as the information from service providers is generally confusing and really not focused on the issue at hand.
This is not the only issue the elderly have.
Elders, whose children are abroad, find it extremely difficult to handle daily issues like buying things, Emergency help,Health Care,Daily Living Aids ,Services.

Despite warnings from the Manufacturers and those who are in the know ,people still talk on their Cell Phones, when it is under Charge.
I came across a Photo in Facebook that a Boy had his palm burnt severely in Bombay.
I have seen people speaking on mobile phones while riding.

When you over hear it accidentally, it is usually non sense chatting.
You do not lose anything by not attending to a Mobile ring if you are on the move.
Callers must ask the called party if they are on the move and if yes, cut the connection to save Lives.
