After long years of working tirelessly for family and a life full of hustling comes ๐๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ retirement. Something that provides the possibility of peace to the body that has toiled hard and the heart that has run far. With their newfound wings, oneโs kids fly away to hustle for their own lives. It might not be possible to go live with them, or one would want to save their self-respect and not want to become a burden to others, even if it is to their own children.
Retirement homes exist for such people, to understand and care for their needs. Retirement homes exist to remind them that life hasnโt ended with retirement and that a life full of freedom actually awaits after retirement. They are not Old age homes. They are not places where one has to live according to someoneโs wishes and orders. Everybody has their own life, everybody has their own independence. Retirement homes contain freedom, comfort and happiness.

Acharya Ramakrishna retired after working at a university for a very long time. He has two sons and one daughter, all of them wise and talented. While one of the two boys has settled in the US, the other is in Australia, both in big jobs. His daughter and son-in-law live in in Delhi. Ramakrishna is a great intellectual. He has studied history extensively. Indiaโs struggle for independence in particular was his favourite subject. He respected his country and its patriots a lot. He has brought the stories of hundreds of freedom fighters to light. He hopes to use all his time post-retirement to tell everybody,
the story of our struggle for self-rule. He has been sparing every ounce of energy for his dream. His effort being huge, needs calm and serene atmosphere. He had been continuously trying for it.
One day, he saw an announcement about retirement homes. He went there along with his wife to take a look. The couple were mighty impressed with the facilities and loved the serenity of the place. The absence of any situation of discomfort gave great courage to the couple. They bought a new house in Retirement Homes within fifteen days of their visit. Ramakrishna is now working uninterruptedly while enjoying the beauty of nature outside his window. His heart is filled with great courage and enormous confidence.
The thought of retirement homes is a new concept that, in fact, came to light in this decade. These are housing communities that give people the confidence of their own house combined with the strength of social-togetherness. Nobody even knew of their existence fifteen years ago. That was when this new thought was conceived into this world. A new thought that entered social life. It took rapid strides forward to make lives happy after retirement. As an idea that came with so many benefits, it naturally gathered countless accolades and attracted peopleโs attention everywhere. The demand for retirement homes has been increasing every year. Especially in the dangerous circumstances that the Covid pandemic created, benefits like security and proper care โ health and otherwise, made these retirement homes even more attractive to the seniors.

Though the name says retirement homes, they are like every other home full of all necessities and facilities. One can own them like any other home and live with full freedom and independence. Retirement homes, in fact, have more specialties compared to normal homes. In many respects, they come with many unique facilities than normal homes.

A breakfast, good meal twice a day, some coffee or tea are basic requirements for any living person. Old age could make it very difficult for seniors to meet even these minimum requirements. They may not have the energy to cook. Moreover, as one grows old, one would want to eat something that is cooked for them, with love. But who can take that responsibility? Is it even possible to care enough for the elderly in this life full of hustle? This is a major problem that troubles the lives of many elders. Retirement homes fulfil this responsibility well and beautifully. They provide good tasty food to the occupants in tune with their individual interests and preferences. In fact there will be a special service for to cater to these needs.

Retirement homes give top priority to security. In normal homes and apartments, security is every individualโs own responsibility. They will have to deal with any such problem alone. Moreover, all days will not be the same. Nobody can tell how and when changes happen in this machine-like life. Why go far, there is no chance that we know what is happening next door.
Similarly, the neighbors also wonโt have enough time to care about us. Retirement homes pay special attention to this. Each house has a separate alarm. If anyone in the house has any problem, security personnel will be just one bell ring away. They appear in the next moment to deal with it.

While the modern world is growing out of bounds, there is a deep gulf developing between us, humans. There was a time when joint families were the norm and taking care of elders with respect was taken for granted. With the disintegration of joint families came the struggles of the elderly. A sort of neglect towards them set in. Even if different generations are living under the same roof, nobody has enough time to spend with the elders and indulge their interests.
Even the elderly would want to share their feelings and opinions with those of their own age. They would want to share their experiences with those that have had as many experiences, albeit
different ones. In normal situations the possibility of such interactions is very less. Retirement homes provide exactly this, something that has been lost in the outside world. All the people that live in these retirement homes are those that have retired from their jobs and businesses. Everybodyโs life is a different story, a story full of countless experiences and emotions. Theirs are the stories of success that braved through numerous problems and challenges. Retirement homes provide them with the comfort and convenience to share their stories and live in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere. Being lonely amounts to nothing but living in darkness. This darkness especially devours the hope and happiness of the elderly. โThe environment of retirement homes is like the light that breaks open this darkness. Hope and happiness come back to them with this light.โ

It is common for anybody to experience health problems once they hit sixty. However careful they might be, there will always be a health-care lurking in some corner. Health problems donโt really come with a warning. One could suddenly slip and fall down in the bathroom or catch fever in sleep. There is a possibility of numerous diseases including heart attacks that can pounce at any time. At that age, how can one find proper treatment? Even if they know where to go, how will they reach that place? Who will help, who will stay behind as a pillar of support? All these problems have a solution in retirement homes. Staff are available throughout the day. Especially those nurses that administer first aid are always present and attend the patient immediately. A doctor will always be available on call. Shifting the patient to a hospital also wonโt be a problem. There will be plenty of people to help.

Retirement homes are systems that work in an orderly fashion. Large construction companies build them with all necessary facilities. Later, many companies, called service provider organizations, come forward to take up various responsibilities associated with these homes. Providing necessary facilities is the sole purpose of these service provider organizations.
All those living in Retirement homes come together to form an association and make an agreement with these service provider organizations. Those companies then provide all the facilities and needs of these homes.
There is a fundamental specialty in the building of these retirement homes. They are built to exist in green and peaceful environments and bask in natural light. In some places, they are built as separate villas, while in others they are built as apartments. Though all homes look similar to each other, there is a possibility of altering them as per the ownersโ requirements and interests, which means there wonโt be any conflict between oneโs individuality and social life. In fact there will be a lot of encouragement to pursue individual interests. Apartments are available in various sizes from single bedroom to triple bedroom ones. Each individual can buy one of their own choice, based on their requirement and affordability.
