Book Description
We are witnessing tremendous changes in the nature of our population, now being characterized by an increased number of people above 60 years of age. One of the several factors which have contributed to this is the improvement in life expectancy which is due to the improved medical care brought about by technological advancement. It is expected that in the coming decades, there will be a much more increase in the number of elderly people who are to be supported and cared for. This may be well ahead of institutional readiness to cope up with the growing number of the elderly people, judging by what is happening now.
