Migration to other countries for education and work has become normal now a days. This is creating a new problem for Elderly parents of Non-residential Indians (NRI) staying independently in India. NRI keeps worrying about the wellbeing of their parents but face limitations due to lack of their physical presence. This is where Home Care Services provides solution.

In this blog. We are going to list five typical issues faced by Elderly Parents of NRI staying independently in India. 

1.       Loneliness – This is one of the biggest issues faced by elders, “having somebody to talk”. With hectic life around though you may have relatives, friends they can not give adequate time to elders. Due to age and health, there is a limitation on elders for travel on their own. Having somebody to talk itself helps them in getting comfort. 

2.       Adjusting to tech savvy world – Though many services are now online, old generation is not comfortable in new age transactions like online payments, internet banking, ATMs. They rely on their old methods of visiting bank themselves or getting word done through agent. This makes simple tasks like electricity bill payment a big task for them. Also they always need to keep large sum of cash in hand, which is a safety issue.

3.       Tech issues – Children do give them gadgets like smart phone, iPad to keep connected via video chat, WhatsApp etc and parents do try to learn to use them, however, any small issue in the gadgets like software update, memory full, installing new app etc. are beyond their capacity. Even small issues for TV like switching mode from TV to HDMI for set top box add to their discomfort. Anyone who can help them in this is highly desirable.

4.       Going out on their own – With age, their confidence goes low. If there is any medical condition, this further adds to the issue. Having somebody to hold hand for even regular visits for medical check-ups, nearby shopping is a necessity.

5.       Household repairs – Apart from themselves they also need to look after the repairs at the home. Now a days there are services which one can book online; however, they cannot do that. They still rely on “service next door” person. This also results into delay in repairs due to not availability of the right service person which adds to their discomfort.
