“They’ve left their parents in an old age home”, jeers the nameless yet omnipresent neighbor in almost every nook and cranny in the country. The taboo surrounding the concept of old age homes, or elderly care centers is one that is deep rooted in our society; unjustly hung as a banner of shame on the sons and daughters who decide to give their parents specialized care 24/7 rather than let them suffer at home.

“The entire definition of the elderly care centers in the country is wrong, it’s misinterpreted as a place where children simply abandon their parents or grandparents for a lack of love or respect, but it’s quite the opposite. The elderly care service is a noble venture wherein the modern world where these children are preoccupied with the thousand problems they face are unable to provide optimum care for their parents, some diseased, some with certain disabilities opt to enlist our services to provide their beloved parents the best personalized round the clock care in a community based residential environment.” says the CEO of Hope Hermitage Elderly Care, Pramila Bajracharya Thapa.
