MSSG: The Future of Community Based Geriatric Care
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Communal efforts are better than individual efforts to move the wheel of time to future. • The Indian elderly who have been basked into nuclear family system from the traditional joint family system has not only become the victim of loneliness and depression but also of "neglected ageing". • Although several studies done in various regions of the world has implicated the importance of community based care but they have failed to provide a fool-proof plan for implementation. • This study has lead to the foundation of a MSSG- a micro social group, which can be used as a corner-store for future improvement of community based care.
