Physical Mental and Social Health of Elderly Living in Old Age Homes Synopsis

Ageing is a natural and irreversible process of human life. It is neither a disease, nor a disintegrative force. Ageing has multiple dimensions: chronological, psychological, social, cultural, economic, spiritual and emotional. Old age is the later part of life which is characterized by deterioration of physical capacities. This deterioration brings changes in the persons‟ active participation in different areas of life, role-playing and role performance and from economic self sufficiency to dependence. Ageing, in fact, is not a disease or a negative condition that develops all on a sudden. As stated by Venkaraman (1998) it is a gradual developmental process that affects biological, psychological, sociological and behavioural changes which begins at the moment an individual is born.
