CHHATRAPATI SAMBHAJINAGAR: (May 2) Technological advancements in health sciences have increased life expectancy, and this has fuelled the need for more old age homes for providing care and companionship to the elderly, former Union minister Suresh Prabhu has said.
Senior citizens have the resources today, but they lack a support system and people around them who can understand their emotions and with whom they can share their feelings in the sunset years, he noted.
The former Union minister was speaking after inaugurating a two-day workshop organised by the NGO Aastha Foundation in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar city on Thursday. PTI
