3. The Idea is to create
an interactive platform between old age homes and orphanages
a space for interaction and a common shelter for two generations
Why Prefer Such A Merger
The elderly are the exact replica of the young ones.They need the same
care and attention as the kids

Migration - away from their native homes and in the recent
past to many countries abroad

Socializing - finding the right companion
Loneliness - leading to withdrawal symptoms
Financial independence
Independence - Unwillingness to give up the responsibility to
children

especially in an emergency
8. To provide its residents with a secure, relaxed and homely environment in which
their care, well being and comfort of prime importance.
Strive to preserve and maintain the dignity, individuality and privacy of all
residents
Warm and caring atmosphere
Being sensitive to the residents' ever changing needs- medical/therapeutic,
cultural, psychological, spiritual, emotional and social.
COREVALUES :
privacy
dignity
security
independence
choice

9. The idea is not to evoke a sigh of pity
There should not be any stigma attached to the residents of old age
Many parents of middle class families are neither neglected nor abandoned by
their children
Provide opportunity to do all the things that you wanted to do but got left out
in the hectic pace of work
A time to pursue your own interests, new hobbies, a time to enjoy your family
but also your independence and personal space
Provide a quality life which the orphans have been deprived off

16. Split the whole orphanage + old age
population into mini-families such that
one or more kids are associated to each
of the old person / couple - but this
should be optional.The aged person /
couple may not be willing or physically
able to take the responsibility.This
should not be a burden but a source of
enjoyment making life meaningful.
It should have its own family-value
structure, resources, time tables,
preferences, and its own place to live -
within the perimeter of the facility.
There should be a common place to
play, study, interact with other kids,
17. Migration is one problem that both senior citizens and children find it
difficult to cope with.
They feel uncomfortable to shift from their comfort zone to a new
place.
Children, many of who come to orphanage are victims of severe
neglect or abuse and have behavioral and psychological problems
Bad influence of elder kids on younger ones
18. A positive aspect of this special home is
that it is closely connected with an
orphanage called “Aastha children
home”.
