Old age homes have facilities of food, lodging and clothing along with visiting doctors for regular checkups, but they cannot compensate or even equal the love and affection these old citizens will receive living with their children and grand children. We must repay their hard work by taking care of them and not forcing them to do regular chores in the house.
