As a result of advances in medical and health care related sciences, people are living much longer than in the past. It is expected that by the year 2025, close to 125 million Indians will be over 60 years of age and will require minimum nursing care on a regular basis. As on today majority of the elderly reside in their homes with their families and wish to remain there. Their families provide majority of care to their older relatives. Although this practice is not new, changes in society and lifestyles have made the care more complicated.
