End-of-Life Care in Indian Old Age Homes: Practices and Perspectives
In the rich tapestry of Indian culture, the concept of family holds profound significance. Traditionally, families have been the primary source of care and support for the elderly, especially during their final years. However, with changing societal dynamics and economic pressures, the landscape of elder care is evolving, leading to an increased reliance on old age homes for end-of-life care.

One of the key focal points of the study is the cultural and societal attitudes towards death and dying in the Indian context. In a country where spirituality and traditions play a significant role in shaping perceptions of death, understanding how these beliefs intersect with modern approaches to end-of-life care is essential.
The research also examines the practices and protocols employed by Indian old age homes in caring for residents during their final stages of life. From palliative care interventions to emotional support for both residents and their families, the study sheds light on the various strategies employed to ensure a peaceful and comfortable transition for elderly individuals.
Moreover, "End-of-Life Care in Indian Old Age Homes" seeks to capture the perspectives of various stakeholders involved in the care process. Through interviews with caregivers, administrators, residents, and family members, it seeks to understand their experiences, challenges, and aspirations concerning end-of-life care in old age homes.
The findings of this study have far-reaching implications for policy, practice, and advocacy in the realm of elder care in India. By shedding light on the existing practices and perspectives surrounding end-of-life care in old age homes, it aims to stimulate dialogue, foster innovation, and ultimately improve the quality of care provided to elderly individuals in their final journey.
