when is elder care needed?

Eldercare becomes necessary when old people start facing troubles with daily life activities like cooking, cleaning, bathing, taking medicines etc, and there is no family member available to look over them. Varied diseases and physical disabilities in old people also make eldercare mandatory for them, so that they too can live independently and with dignity. The type of geriatric care needed depends on the health condition of the old person and the severity of the problem and the type of care needed. Most people don’t require full-time nurses, while there are a few who needed a 24/7 caregiver owing to the severity of their problem.
