Isn’t valuing the bond of family part of our tradition? So, why would people even consider old age homes as an option? Some people don’t have a choice. As per the website dadadadi.org, there are 728 Old Age Homes in India today. Information of 547 homes is available and out of these, 325 homes are free of cost while 95 old age homes are on pay & stay basis, 116 homes have both free as well as pay & stay facilities and 11 homes have no information.
